NEWPORT BEACH, CA -- Assemblywoman Diane Dixon announced today that she will run for the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 2026, taking on incumbent Katrina Foley in the 5th District.
“I have always believed that the government closest to the people is the best government, the one most likely to serve the people’s needs without abusing their pocketbooks,” said Dixon. “On a daily basis the Board of Supervisors has more direct impact on the lives of Orange County’s citizens than does the State Legislature. That’s where I believe I can do the most good.”
As a Supervisor, Dixon vows to fight government corruption, support public safety and protect taxpayers.
“Orange County has suffered from far too many corruption scandals in recent years and we have seen millions of tax dollars meant to help people, diverted for personal use or to advance personal agendas,” said Dixon. “We need to clean up county government and demand accountability.
“My opponent, Katrina Foley, ran on a platform of reducing homelessness and fighting crime, yet homelessness and crime are both higher today than when she took office. It’s time for a new approach and new ideas,” Dixon said.
Diane Dixon spent 40 years in the private sector as a business executive before being elected to the Newport Beach City Council in 2014, where she served two terms as Mayor. She was elected to the State Assembly in 2022 and overwhelmingly reelected in 2024. She recently received an “A” rating from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association for her efforts on behalf of taxpayers.
