All About Our District

Orange County’s Second District includes the city of Santa Ana, and portions of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Orange, and Tustin. I am proud and honored to serve these communities where my family and I call home.

We live in a beautiful, diverse area with a deep cultural heritage. Whether it be our community events, museums, historic neighborhoods, and sports or entertainment venues, there is always something fun to do.
