OC Supervisor Quietly Routed Millions More To His Daughter’s Group
County records obtained by LAist show O.C. Supervisor Andrew Do directed an additional $6.2 million in taxpayer dollars to his 22-year-old daughter’s group without publicly disclosing the family ties.

KEY FINDINGS
County records obtained by LAist show O.C. Supervisor Andrew Do directed an additional $6.2 million in taxpayer dollars to his 22 year-old daughter’s nonprofit without publicly disclosing his close family connection.
It brings the total to $13.5 million in county funding — tallied from government records obtained and published by LAist — that Do is now known to have played a major role awarding to the nonprofit since late 2020.
The newly-discovered grants were awarded by Do outside of public meetings. Details of these grants were also not included in public meeting agendas.
Most of the funds were federal coronavirus recovery dollars earmarked to feed seniors and people with disabilities, according to the county’s grant agreements for the money.

Out of more than 100 organizations and cities that received federal pandemic relief money distributed by O.C. supervisors in their districts, the nonprofit received the second-largest amount — all of it directed by Supervisor Do — according to a breakdown the county provided LAist.

The funding exceeded awards to the O.C. Sheriff’s Department, and the cities of Fullerton, Santa Ana and Westminster, among others.
