Posted by Chris Nguyen on May 31, 2018
In prior elections, some of the most popular articles on OC Political in the run-up to elections are the ones identifying the partisan affiliations of candidates on the ballot. So back by popular demand, OC Political presents the political party affiliations of everyone running for everything on the June 5, 2018 Primary Election ballot in Orange County.
(Okay, this list is not everyone running for literally everything; it is everyone running for offices whose party affiliations are not shown on the ballot. If you want to know the party affiliation of candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Senate, House of Representatives, State Legislature, etc., just look on your ballot.)

For the future, it would be nice to have this information earlier. I mailed in my ballot yesterday. This info would have helped in my vote. I am so disgusted with the Democratic Party and their collusion of voting by party, I will Not knowingly vote for a Democrat.
