“Friends – We did it!” said Mina. “I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who volunteered your time, made a donation, shared a social media post, put out a yard sign or cast a vote for me. Because of our amazing team of supporters, we celebrate this victory tonight.
Now that we have made it through the Democratic Primary, we are headed to the General Election on November 3rd! We will continue working hard these next few months to get out the vote and ensure I am re-elected as your Orange County Sheriff.
Thank you for trusting me with both the responsibility and honor of continuing to protect Orange County. While I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, there’s more work to do.”
