Huntington Beach, CA - - The momentum for Senator Janet Nguyen’s campaign for Orange County Supervisor continues to grow with the announcement today that she has been endorsed by the Orange County Young Republicans.

“Everywhere she has served, Senator Janet Nguyen has been a champion for the issues important to young professionals - economic growth, lower taxes, and personal freedom,” said Austin Edsell, President and Chair of the Orange County Young Republicans. “Janet Nguyen is the only suitable candidate to win this critical election and represent the First District.”

With the support of the OCYR’s coming on the heels of the Lincoln Club and New Majority endorsements, Janet Nguyen solidifies her position as the consensus Republican candidate for Supervisor in the First District.
