ORANGE COUNTY – MARCH 4 – Today, Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do leads with a decisive primary win. Supervisor Do will run a tough and robust campaign through November to deliver four more years to the people of Orange County of real accomplishments.
Supervisor Do gave the following statement:
“I’m so honored to receive widespread support from my constituents. I’m proud of all our accomplishments but we still have work to do. We’re fighting for every family who deserves safe schools and streets; every veteran who deserves better access to health care and making sure that our homeless aren’t left behind.”
A former prosecutor, educator, businessman and judge pro tem, Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do is fighting for Orange County taxpayers and working families in the First District communities of Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Midway City, Santa Ana and Westminster.

After several years providing legal representation to poor and indigent defendants, Andrew Do joined the Orange County District Attorney’s office – with his last assignment prosecuting sexually violent predators as a member of the D.A.’s Sexual Assault Unit. His skills in the courtroom earned him national recognition from the U.S. Department of Justice, when he was chosen to represent Orange County at the National District Attorney Association Advocacy College at the University of South Carolina.
Andrew Do previously served as a Councilmember for the City of Garden Grove and as Chief of Staff to an Orange County Supervisor.
