Republican Party of Orange County Endorses Dr. Ken Williams for Re-Election to OC Board of Education

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Orange County, CA (March 20, 2012) – Last night, the Republican Party of Orange County voted to endorse Dr. Ken Williams for re-election to the Orange County Board of Education Trustee Area 3 seat in the June primary.

“I am grateful to the Republican Party of Orange County for recognizing that I am the candidate of limited government, personal responsibility, and traditional family values,” Williams said. “I thank the party for its endorsement of my record fighting tax hikes, cutting waste, and battling unfunded mandates.”

As a member of the Orange County Board of Education, Williams has served his constituents as their consistent conservative voice on the board, promoting traditional family values, public safety and safe schools, high academic standards, educational accountability, parental rights, and a “back to basics” approach to education.

During his first campaign for office in 1996, Williams defeated a twenty-year incumbent by running on a “back-to-basics education” theme that resonated with the voters of Trustee Area 3.  A home-grown community leader, he is a native of Orange County who graduated from the county’s public schools.  He is a family physician in private medical practice since 1986, and   is on the medical staff at St. Joseph Hospital, Hoag Hospital, and family practice department chairman at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. 

Trustee Area 3 consists of the cities of Brea, Irvine, Orange, Villa Park, and Yorba Linda; the communities of Anaheim Hills and North Tustin; and portions of East Anaheim, Lake Forest, Tustin, and Orange County’s canyon communities.
