Senator Thomas J. Umberg Calls on Orange County Supervisors for a Unified Front to Secure State Resources

Orange County, CA - Today, Senator Thomas J. Umberg (D - Santa Ana) issued a letter to the Orange County Board of Supervisors calling on them to put partisan posturing aside and fight side-by-side with state representatives to better ensure a fair share of the state’s resources in light of the current unprecedented global challenge brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, state representatives of the Orange County delegation are working with Sacramento to secure necessary resources to protect public health and safely and reopen our economy.

“The impact on our global economy has been devastating. Nonetheless, an economic crisis is no excuse to leave vulnerable populations behind. We must be committed and coordinated in our work towards a rapid recovery of the public health, and the local economy,” said Senator Thomas J. Umberg. “As we collectively grieve for the nearly 70 Orange County families that have lost loved ones, I am mindful that the Governor, the County of Orange, and our local elected officials have the health and safety of our respective constituencies as a top priority.  Together, we can secure our fair share of the state’s resources.”
