Orange County Elections See Major Shifts in Mayoral and State Races
What happened
In the Orange County mayoral race, Tiffany Moore Russell defeated Chris Messina in a landslide victory, garnering nearly 70% of the vote. Russell and Messina debated the impact of Amendment 3, with Messina supporting it to lower property taxes and Russell opposing it because it would not benefit renters. Bonnie Jackson also ran in the State Representative District 42 race, receiving 29,972 votes.
