Michelle Steel, Chairwoman of the OC Board of Supervisors and Seal Beach resident, will be the guest speaker at the Republican Club’s Zoom meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 12, a week earlier than the usual meeting day.
Steel is probably the most popular political figure in OC today and is running for Congress against Harley Rouda in the 48th District, which includes Leisure World. To join in on the meeting, contact the Republican Club President at davidharlow50@aol.com or (562) 335-0779.
Throughout her career, Supervisor Steel has focused on controlling government spending to prevent tax increases. As an elected member of the California Board of Equalization for eight years, she fought consistently, and sometimes successfully, to stop new taxes from being implemented.
Steel, a conservative, is also well known for leading the fight against making Orange County a “sanctuary” county, which would have prevented police from cooperating with Federal immigration officials and prevents the County from informing ICE when dangerous prisoners are released from jail.
Steel, as of press time, is the only serious candidate in the race to publicly oppose defunding the police.
She is endorsed by Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes, retired Sheriff Sandra Hutchins and Orange County Supervisors Lisa Bartlett, Andrew Do and Don Wagner. She is also endorsed by Orange County Assessor Claude Parrish, County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen and Treasurer-Tax Collector Shari Freidenrich.
Steel spoke previously to the club on Nov. 20, `when she kicked off her campaign for Congress. •••• The Republican Club has a booth open near Clubhouse 6 every Monday in August from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m, where you can register to vote or pick up red, white or blue hats.
