Calif. Prosecutor Dies of COVID at 46: Politician Was Outspoken Vaccine Mandate Opponent
California prosecutor and former political candidate Kelly Ernby is being remembered both for her dedication to environmental law and her opposition to vaccine mandates after the 46-year-old died of COVID-19 complications this week.
Ben Chapman, chair of the Greater Costa Mesa Republicans, confirmed his "dear friend" Ernby's cause of death on Twitter.
"My heart is broken and I'm in tears. I lost a dear friend to Covid complications. I love you @KellyErnby," Chapman wrote. "You've been nothing but an inspiration to many of us here in Orange County."
County officials likewise mourned her. "Orange County District Attorney Office is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Deputy District Attorney Kelly Ernby," Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer wrote in a tweet published Monday.
