On Saturday we had a great time at Clark Regional Park for our Spring District 4 Kids Fishing Derby! 🐟🎣
It was heartwarming to see hundreds of young anglers, alongside their parents, grandparents, and other family members, casting their lines with enthusiasm and skill.
Congratulations to our talented winners - the champions of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd places, and a special shoutout to the winner of the smallest catch of the day! 🏅
This event was a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy nature, and learn more about fishing.
A huge thank you to Orange County Parks, vendors, OCEA Hot Dogger, and our District 4 volunteers for helping to make this day a success!
Stay tuned for more events like this in the future. Until then, let’s keep casting and creating wonderful memories together!

Today, at the Board of Supervisors meeting we recognized March 16-22,2025 as National Surveyors Week.
Surveyors determine and describe land and water boundaries for the management of natural resources and protection of private and public property rights. Surveyors are an integral part of many industries such
as engineering, construction, urban planning, environmental conservation, and disaster management. Their expertise goes beyond simply measuring land; surveyors transform the physical world into a map that guides how people perceive their surroundings.
I would like to thank our OC Public Works Surveyor Team for their work and dedication in this field. They provide key services that support the public’s land-use needs and the design and construction of projects throughout the County.
🇺🇸Fun Fact: United States Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Abraham Lincoln, all served as surveyors, contributing to the historical mapping of America in its early years.

Today at the Board of Supervisors meeting we recognized March as Women’s History Month.
This month serves as a reminder of the lasting mark women have left on our history, and our ongoing journey towards gender equity.
Today is also Equal Pay Day, which reminds us of the persistent disparities that women continue to face today when it comes to economic equality. As a state, California ranks 3rd in the nation for pay equity and has some of the strongest equal pay laws in the nation. Orange County women make $3,076 more than their California counterparts but face a larger gender wage gap with Orange County women making 83% compared to men versus California women making 87%.
I was proud to introduce and re-establish the Orange County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls last year which held its inaugural meeting in September. This commission will help us understand the issues particularly facing Orange County women and what the County can do to help alleviate the gap between women in men in relation to pay, education, healthcare, and business.
Each March, we recognize Women’s History month to remind us of the enormous progress that has been made, and the work that is to be done to reach true gender parity. As we commemorate Women’s History Month today, I want to thank all the women leaders for their visions, contributions, and achievements in shaping what Orange County is today.
