Hews Media Group-Community new has obtained a short video of Montebello Mayor Jack Hadjinian and Council Candidate Vanessa Delgado strategizing their respective campaigns at a Starbucks in Montebello.
Delgado has denied any affiliation with Hadjinian to HMG-CN.
The videographer indicated that Hadjinian and Delgado were there for over an hour outlining campaign strategies.
HMG-CN reported a few weeks ago that Delgado, who touted herself as a “Montebello home owner and a product of the local community,” had personal ties with the Calderon family, and in particular with former California Assemblyman Tom Calderon, who was indicted for bribery and money laundering charges along with his brother Ron in 2014.
In the same investigation, HMG-CN discovered that Delgado, who began looking for and eventually bought a house in Montebello in mid-2014, recently registered to vote in Montebello just weeks before the filing period for City Council candidates.
