What does a Supervisor do?
The Orange County Board of Supervisors manages the government at the county level. Services of the county government include public health, foster care, job training, and administration of social service programs such as Medi-Cal or CalFresh (EBT). The County manages a budget of $8 billion to administer these services.
For example, a Supervisor’s commitment to mental health can mean the difference between an underfunded and understaffed public mental health program that takes months to assign a caseworker, or one that meets the needs of the community.
Supervisors representing District 2, District 4, District 5 are up for elections in 2022.
