Teresa Hernandez, restaurateur and small business owner, was named the next President of the Lincoln Club of Orange County, making her the first Hispanic woman to lead California’s oldest and largest Conservative donor organization.
Ms. Hernandez, who has served as Vice President since 2016, has been appointed as John Warner’s successor. The announcement was accompanied by endorsements from local and national leaders: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Governor Mike Huckabee, Ambassador Ric Grenell, CAGOP Chair Jessica Millan Patterson, Congresswoman Michelle Steel & Congresswoman Young Kim.
The appointment comes just months after Hernandez was forced to make the difficult decision to close her 34 year old restaurant due to the challenges of operating under the state’s on-again off-again shutdown orders.

THE BUZZ HEAT’S ON XAVIER: Xavier Becerra’s record as California’s top cop is under intense scrutiny this week, as Republicans intensify their drive to squelch his nomination to be the Biden administration’s Health and Human Services Secretary.
What’s driving the move: Republicans who had a role in successfully tabling the nomination of Neera Tanden to head the Office of Management and Budget have turned to Becerrra as the next big target. And on Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee split evenly along party lines on whether to advance Becerra’s nomination to the full Senate floor, requiring the intervention of the Senate majority leader and underscoring the California AG’s precarious position, as POLITICO’s Alice Miranda Ollstein reported.
