Meet Lorri
“I believe that through innovation and tenacity, we can address today’s pressing issues and improve the harsh economic situation many families in our community now face. Now is the time for passion and resolve, now is the time for optimism, now is the time for a new voice in the halls of Orange County Government; an independent voice that truly speaks for the people in our community.”
