Orange County Young Democrats Endorse Hoa Tran for County Supervisor

The Orange County Young Democrats Endorse Tran in His Race for Orange County Board of Supervisors

SANTA ANA, CA – The Orange County Young Democrats have endorsed Hoa Tran for Orange County’s First Supervisor District. 

Hoa Tran is a candidate for the Orange County Board of Supervisors.   He is running to represent the First Supervisor District, which includes Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Westminster, and Midway City. 

Tran is currently an attorney in Garden Grove and represents consumers and small businesses.  He previously served in the US Army as an intelligence officer and even served during the first Gulf War.     

As County Supervisor, Tran plans to make parks, health care, and reducing crime a priority. 

“The time has come for Democrats in Central Orange County to rally around Hoa Tran.  If we’re serious about changing the direction of the Board of Supervisors, we need to start right here and right now,” said Jason Bensley, Chair of the Orange County Young Democrats.  “After the First District, we can move onto other areas in Orange County.  This race is just the beginning of that process.   ”
