BREAKING: 5 Make Ballot for 2nd District Supervisor Special Election
Posted by Chris Nguyen on January 25, 2021
Former Senator John M. W. Moorlach (R), Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley (D), Newport Beach Councilman Kevin Muldoon (R), and Fountain Valley Mayor Michael Vo (R). Photos came from candidates’ supervisorial campaign web sites. Attorney Janet Rappaport (D) also qualified for the ballot but did not appear to have a campaign web site.
Five candidates met today’s 5 PM deadline to file for the March 9, 2021 special election for the Second District seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors to fill the vacancy left when Supervisor Michelle Steel was elected to Congress. March 9 is six weeks from tomorrow.
Three Republican men and two Democratic women filed.
Here they are with their party affiliations, city of residence, and ballot designations:
- John M. W. Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa), California State Senator
- Katrina Foley (D-Costa Mesa), Mayor/Orange County Businessowner
- Janet Rappaport (D-Newport Beach), Tax Attorney
- Michael Vo (R-Fountain Valley), Mayor/Business Owner
- Kevin Muldoon (R-Newport Beach), Councilman/Small Businessman
The Registrar’s office states the five candidates above have qualified for the ballot.
Huntington Beach Councilman Mike Posey (R) withdrew from the race.

I suppose if we can’t expect Vo and Muldoon to put values ahead of ambition, we can go ahead and congratulate Foley.

Too bad to see Moorlach taken down by the Brough sex scandal. Muldoon will make a great supervisor.
