Orange County — for now, depending on how the special election on redistricting shakes out — has six members in the U.S. House of Representatives who represent at least a portion of the county.
Let’s check in with them.
We asked our congressional representatives — Reps. Linda Sánchez, D-Whittier; Young Kim, R-Anaheim Hills; Derek Tran, D-Orange; Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana; Dave Min, D-Irvine; and Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano — several questions each, tailored to their policy expertise, committee assignments, votes and current events.
These questions range from Congress’ role in checking the executive branch on immigration enforcement, what comes next now that the massive spending cuts bill has been signed into law, and how they are bringing money back to their communities.
We also asked each member about the ongoing government shutdown, as well as political and civil discourse, and how they are being leaders in their communities amid calls to tone down the rhetoric on both sides of the aisle.
