On Election Day, Former Supervisor Michelle Steel Reflects on Role
As voters cast ballots for a vacant Orange County Board of Supervisors (BOS) seat, its former holder is sharing hopes for her replacement.
It’s been about two months since U.S. Congresswoman Michelle Steel left her District 2 seat for higher office. During an interview with The Epoch Times, she said she would like the incoming supervisor to carry forward her legacy of reducing homelessness, fighting for lower taxes, and ensuring fiscal responsibility.
“I hope that the new supervisor coming in works hard,” Steel said March 9. “And if you have to fight, you really have to fight against anybody who hurts our constituents.”

On Homelessness
Moorlach: “I would like to pick up where I left off. I will bring my state experience and work with Projects Homekey and Roomkey. I will encourage the use of the Orange County Housing Finance Trust created by AB 448, legislation that I co-authored. I will also work with the Commission to End Homelessness, the county, the nonprofits, 2-1-1 and now CalOptima and Be Well/Mind OC, to address this crisis.”
