Control of the OC Board of Supervisors Up for Grabs
Residents throughout Orange County are voting for three of the five seats on the county board of supervisors, which controls a nearly $11 billion budget and oversees major agencies including the OC Sheriff’s Department and Health Care Agency.
In all three elections, the top two vote getters will proceed to a runoff in November unless someone garners over 50% in the primary election and wins the seat outright.
Supervisor Katrina Foley is running for reelection to represent District Five, which covers most of south Orange County, against Assemblywoman Diane Dixon and Lucy Vellema.
Most of Foley’s financial support comes from county employee unions including the OC Professional Firefighters Association Local 3631, OC Employees Association and Association of OC Deputy Sheriffs, which have collectively spent over $565,000 advertising her candidacy.
