remaining two years in her term will be held in the first few months of the new year. The most likely candidates are Republican John Moorlach, who represented the district before Michelle Steel, and Katrina Foley, the Democratic mayor of Costa Mesa.
This election will be important for a number of reasons. Every year the Orange County Board of Supervisors determines how to prioritize billions of dollars in taxpayer funds. It also wields influence over a large number of people.
The supervisors will appoint 17 different directors of various county departments. They also appoint a county CEO, who in turn appoints 11 other directors. Supervisors also appoint members to the 85 different boards, committees, and commissions. Based upon the results of the 2020 U.S. census, the supervisors will also be tasked in 2021 with redrawing their district boundaries for the next decade. •••• If you are a Democrat or a supporter and want to know more about the club, subscribe to the free electronic newsletter, emailing the editor, Mary Larson, at mlarson.telfords@gmail.com, or by calling (562) 296-8521 with your full contact information.
