Homelessness, public safety, and the economy are among the top priorities of five candidates running for a vacant seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors (BOS).
The opportunity to become the District 2 supervisor arose after Michelle Steel abandoned the post to join U.S. Congress last month. The district covers Costa Mesa, Cypress, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Seal Beach, Stanton, Rossmoor, and portions of Buena Park and Fountain Valley.
