Orange County Voter Guide: November 2024 General Election

The November General Election in Orange County comes as two corruption scandals are unfolding – with FBI agents recently raiding OC Supervisor Andrew Do’s house in the missing COVID money case.

It comes after Do’s office contracted with a nonprofit to feed seniors, but county attorneys allege the Viet America Society could not account for at least $10 million in federal COVID relief money and misspent that money to buy houses, including one for the supervisor’s daughter.

In Anaheim, watchdogs and activists continue demanding reforms and increased transparency in the fallout of a federal corruption probe that surfaced in 2022 – one that saw the collapse of the Angel Stadium deal and investigations into the powerful Disneyland resort interests in town.

Federal agents alleged former Mayor Harry Sidhu tried ramming through the stadium sale for $1 million in campaign support – something he later pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about.
