Finally someone is asking about the handpainted blue and white and now tan and brown signs that are showing up around town. Who the heck is this person/group and what do they want? Signs are confusing at best and most signed as P.V.#3.

Its Craig Heiller (sp?) who is running for County Commissioner for District 3. His nickname is Pancho Villa which is where the "P.V.#3" comes from.

Whoever he is, judging from his signs, he is not "playing with a full deck."

Ditto for me. The signs look like a 5 yr old did them and mom threw them out.

ha!

should have known the answer would be found here!!

I kinda like them, but I am a bit off center and get real tired of the same old thing at election time...it seems kind of having fun with this morbid event every fall.

that's just me and I am very happy to get the answer!! (who needs the daily world??)

Apparently he ran for County Commissioner in Josephine County, Oregon. Also City Council in Vista California.

Here are some recent articles about some legal issues he had in California this year along with some campaign issues from a few years ago:

Thanks for the links. Looks like a stable guy! "not"

"I will rededicate myself to public service in Washington," Heiller told Pressman as he exited the courtroom.

Oh great!

Of course the charges were reduced to misdemeanors. If he was convicted of a felony, he wouldn't be allowed to run for county commissioner.

If your like me and out here on the North Beach then you are probably very familiar with Mr. Villa

He has a little place out on the highway and his sign's are common sight to anyone out here, mostly bashing Al Carter who I think was his favorite target for a while...

I talked to him on the phone a couple times, harmless little man but I have to agree with the not playing w/ a full deck comment...
