Embattled Laguna Beach City Council candidate Jon Madison says he is being “ambushed” over evidence that he falsified his age, educational and work histories on his campaign website, the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot reports.
Said Madison: “I am who I am. I don’t think my educational history or my age or voter registration has anything to do with what I’m trying to do in this city.”
He added: “This is my first rodeo, and I’m disappointed that the media are bringing me down.”
