A MESSAGE FROM CONNOR
"As a fourth-generation Orange County resident and public servant, I want to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to live and work in safe, affordable, and welcoming communities. The 4th Supervisorial District has a great deal to be proud of: from our world-famous amusement parks to our colleges, parks, and public amenities.
I want to use my experiences to build on our strengths while also addressing the challenges we face. I’m committed to preserving public safety, improving affordability, strengthening county services, reducing homelessness, protecting our environment, supporting local businesses, creating good paying jobs, and building the OC Veterans Cemetery at Gypsum Canyon.
I look forward to the campaign and conversations ahead."
