The Sheriff-Coroner and District Attorney races in Orange County are headed to the first runoff in several years after voters turned out in record numbers for the primary election.
The Sheriff and District Attorney are two of the most powerful elected officials in Orange County and California. Yet, most voters don’t pay close attention to the candidates or simply skip the box on the ballot.

- Conditions of confinement
- Immigrant Rights
- Homelessness
- Prosecutorial misconduct
- Voting rights
