“I proudly endorse Loretta Sanchez for Supervisor. Loretta has fought on behalf of Orange County for over 20 years. Her commitment to serving the needs of our diverse communities and addressing our toughest issues is unparalleled. We need Loretta’s experienced and principled leadership now more than ever as we look for smart solutions to the homelessness crisis, ways to promote responsible development, and opportunities to improve our regional infrastructure and transportation systems. As Supervisor, she will be sure to deliver policy-based results for Orange County as she has for decades. She has my full support.”

Congressman Harley Rouda
“Orange County needs bold and proven leadership to tackle our toughest economic, housing, and environmental issues. I am endorsing Loretta Sanchez for County Supervisor because Loretta has decades of experience working with local officials to ensure water security for OC for our future, helping our small businesses grow by removing unnecessary regulations, protecting our open spaces and funding the clean up of environmentally damaged sites, and assisting families in access to mental health.”

Congressman Lou Correa

Assembly Member Sharon Quirk-Silva
“Loretta Sanchez fundamentally understands the needs of Orange County because she shares the same experiences as its diverse residents. The daughter of immigrants who has experienced the first-hand the challenges that working-class families face, Loretta will use her 20+ years of legislative experience to improve the lives of Orange County residents and their families across the board. I’m proud to endorse her.” 

Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez

OC Board of Education Member Beckie Gomez
“Our students and teachers in Orange County deserve a thoughtful, experienced leader working to improve public schools and education across the board.
