Leading Republican Assembly candidate accused of drunken, unwelcome bar kiss

10 News:
Niki Burgan filed the battery case with the Sheriff's Office Sunday, May 20. She accuses Graham of forcibly kissing her at an Encinitas Bar. Burgan told 10News that it happened at 1st Street Bar on S. Coast Hwy 101 on the evening of Sunday, May 13, into the early morning of Monday, May 14 as the bar was closing.

She said that Graham had initially been flirting, even mentioning that he was running for office and asked whether she would vote for him. After finding out that he was a Republican candidate she said, no she was a Democrat.

At some point, she says his talk turned into aggression and Graham grabbed her hair, pulled her in, and started to kiss her. She said she had to push him off.

Burgan also said she remembers that Graham had so much to drink that night that she had to help him sign his tab.
Graham, who previously ran a half-hearted campaign for city council, appears to be the leading Republican in the Assembly race with many mail ballots already having been voted.

UPDATE: Accuser has serious credibility problems.

UPDATE: Sheriff clears Graham.

  1. Just have Graham say that he was channeling Trump's spirit and then everything will be A-OK. Or offer her $130K.

  4. Niki burgan is well-known at every bar in the encinitas/oceanside/vista area as being a major drunk who is sexually exploitive with the motive of trapping a man. She just doesn't want to work and earn her own money, and she wants some dumb dude to worship her. So she tries to dance on their junk for awhile to hyptomize men, and then she puts thenm in her crosshairs to completely destroy them. Don't know why. She is definitely evil.

  5. I have known Niki for quite some time - over a decade. She has tried pulling the false battery charges before, but not with a public figure, so they will not be in the news. Her parents and sister died in a plane crash in 2007(?) off the coast and that seems to have ignited an even worse pattern of behavior than she already had. She feels somehow that the world owes her something and will do anything and everything she can to get it. This is always at the expense of other people even her own two young children. Lord knows how far she has pulled her adult daughter into her web. Niki has had 4 husbands. She traps men with her sexual advances and worship. She becomes the person she thinks they want as she has no identity of her own. She is not a Vet tech as she reported and has never been. Her "lifeguarding" was short-lived and the "non-profit" water dog rescue team she received awards for was nothing more than a way for her to get in the limelight. She conned people into donating as a charity but when you research it, it was never legally set up as a proper non-profit. When she doesn't get what she thinks she is owed, she tries to blackmail people with false restraining orders and threats to their places of employment. She has done this to countless boyfriends/husbands throughout the years. She has bullied women who are just friends with her ex-husbands and threatened physical harm. When they call her out she accuses them of being the issue. After 2 decades of this behavior I am glad it is going public.

    1. Even if everything you say is true, I don’t want someone representing me who is dumb enough to get drunk and make bad decisions.

      It’s a sign of immaturity and ego.

    2. It's all lies. Chances are he wanted nothing to do with her and she pursued him. He said no and this is her retaliation. It's her modus operandi.

  6. Still, if Graham is at the Bar at 1am on a Sunday night, I don't think he's up at dawn to go to work....

    1. Basically, most of these political jobs have minimal job descriptions - they don't do squat, except get paid and solicit "donations".

  7. Coming up next, we will have to see this once candidate on a stage with his meek wife, if he has one, asking for forgiveness and praising the lord.

    Or, he could go quietly into the night. Any guesses?

  8. Or she could be sued for libel and slander and forced to retract her lies publicly when they are done evidence gathering?

  9. It appears nothing good happens at 1:00 AM in a bar. (Except no one looks ugly).
