Democrats sweep 3 Orange County Commission seats

[Tony_FLADEM]

An Orange County voter turnout that featured far more Democrats than Republicans ousted one County Commissioner and reelected two others Tuesday giving Democrats dominant control.

Even though Orange County Commission seats and elections are officially non-partisan, the parties promote their candidates, and Tuesday the races went the way of Democrats. Betsy VanderLey was voted out of a western Orange County district held by Republicans for decades. And Democratic incumbents Mayra Uribe and Emily Bonilla won two other seats outright even though they each faced two challengers and needed to win majorities to avoid runoffs.

So now that means Democrats have gone from minority party to one with overwhelming control of Orange County government in four-years time.
