Dear New Majority Orange County Members, With the June 5th Primary Election quickly approaching, we would like to provide the 2018 NMOC Primary Election Voter Guide to assist you when casting your ballots. Many voters received their absentee ballots this week, and while the chapter has not taken official positions in all races and on all issues, this guide does provide members with our endorsements and recommendations from other trusted partners. Our political priorities include focusing on the targeted State Senate and Assembly races, and almost all of these key races are taking place right here in Orange County. If you have any questions or if there are races not addressed in this guide that you would like more information on, please contact our office at (949) 339-2770 or email, [email protected].
