Andrew Do, the Republican incumbent, is being challenged by three Democrats from three different generations: Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido, who’s a baby boomer; Westminster Councilman Sergio Contreras, who’s a Generation X’er; and Kim Bernice Nguyen, who’s a millennial.
In a unanimous vote, the Fountain Valley City Council has approved a resolution temporarily reducing fees for the permits required to operate restaurants with 50 or fewer seats.
Several Democrats are challenging First District County Supervisor Andrew Do. Meanwhile, Third District County Supervisor Don Wagner has drawn a sole challenger, Asheigh Aitken – who lost a close battle for Anaheim’s Mayor’s seat last year.
The nearly 7,000 people officially homeless n Orange County should be a wake up call to the County and all 34 cities to start building affordable and permanent supportive housing, in addition to shelters, according to experts in the field.
One of OC’s next homeless shelters could be headed for the affluent south county suburbs, the judge warns after citing a lack of progress by elected officials to create a mental health shelter.
Orange County Republicans need to distance themselves from President Donald Trump to regain the offices they lost in November and Democrats can’t overplay their hand in order to keep the legislative seats they gained heading into 2020, according to policy and elections specialists.
Over the last year, OC saw more action toward getting homeless people off the streets and into shelter than any other time in recent memory.
Midterm voters turned out in OC at the highest rate in decades and Democrats gained major wins in local Congressional and state legislative seats.
Democratic challenger Tom Umberg Wednesday declared victory over State Sen. Janet Nguyen (R-Garden Grove) in the 34th Senate District race.
If Tom Umberg’s lead holds in the 34th District, Democrats will add to the supermajorities they gained in the state Legislature in this month’s election.
