Orange County needs more affordable housing for working families. In an effort to help spur more affordable housing, the County organized a Housing Symposium to identify opportunities for public-private collaboration.

I am committed to collaborating with the private sector to expand affordable housing opportunities. Together, we’re building a more prosperous and profitable future for the county and our residents. Thank you to all who attended the event!

On November 14, I presented a proclamation to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children for the rollout of the new California WIC card. This program provides food assistance to families who are struggling to make ends meet. The WIC Card is a vital tool for families to ensure their children get the proper nutrition they need.

As the representative for the district with the highest number of WIC enrollees in the County, it makes me proud to see the program step into the 21st Century by offering our residents this much-needed update. Thank you to WIC staff for your hard work in making this incredible improvement possible.

Last Tuesday, nurses from OC Health administered free flu shots at our Santa Ana clinic. If you missed last week’s clinic, we will be having two more flu shot clinics this week; November 21 in Westminster and November 22 in Garden Grove. Thank you to the Delhi Center for allowing us to host our annual flu shot.

This flu season, make sure you and your family are protected!

Team Andrew Do attended the Kennedy Elementary PTA meeting last Friday to help recognize staff, parents, and students who participated in this year’s Fiestas Patrias parade. Thank you Mrs. Araceli Cazales and PTA members!

During this Tuesday’s meeting, the Board of Supervisors appointed Tram Le to serve in the John Wayne Airport Arts Commission and reappointed Art Pedroza for the Emergency Medical Care Committee.

Congratulations to both District 1 appointees and thank you for your willingness to serve!

During last Wednesday’s coffee in the Lampson Avenue Neighborhood, residents and I discussed topics ranging from the 405 Improvement Project to flood control in central Orange County. Thank you to everyone who attended and to OC Public Libraries for hosting!

Last Tuesday, I held a neighborhood coffee at Santiago Elementary School in Floral Park. We talked about the County’s efforts in making mental health resources more accessible for residents. We also covered the Keeping California Safe Act, which was recently supported by the Board of Supervisors to undo the harm caused by Prop 57. Attendees also spoke about the County’s efforts to improve public safety in the Jack Fisher Park area by bringing up the recent fence installation along the creek bed, as requested by residents. Thank you, Principal Jimmy Bruhl, for hosting and to everyone who attended!
