OC Voters are Picking New State Representatives. What Do the Candidates Say?

How should Orange County’s representatives in Sacramento handle issues like homelessness, public safety, crime and human rights?

Over the next few weeks, voters will be choosing new state representatives who will have a role in shaping that future.

For years, Orange County has been a central battleground for just how much power Democrats have in state government – determining whether the party has a supermajority that can raise taxes on its own.

Two OC districts that are drawing statewide attention for being competitive are south county’s 74th District (between Republican Laurie Davies and Democrat Chris Duncan) and the 70th District that includes Little Saigon (between Democrat Diedre Thu-Ha Nguyen and Republican Tri Ta).
