The Republican Club salutes the 92 percent of registered voters in LW who took the time to vote in the recent election. Of the 6,892 registered voters in LW, 6,364 voted. Congresswoman-elect Michelle Steel and City Councilman Thomas Moore thanked the LW Republican Club at its Zoom meeting on Nov. 11. Steel joins Washington state’s Marilyn Strickland as the first Korean-American women ever elected to Congress. Steel called into the Zoom meeting from her car on the way to meeting with the Seal Beach Republican Women Federated, after which she was headed to the airport to attend congressional freshman orientation in Washington, D.C. Although she was not able to attend the meeting, Assemblywoman- elect Janet Nguyen was praised for the great job she did on her victorious campaign and for her past service to the Republican party, Orange County and the state as a whole. As a state senator, Nguyen was named Legislator of the Year by the American Legion, the Association of the United States Army and the Vietnam Veterans of America. She also received top ratings from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association and the California Taxpayers Association.

Club President David Harlow calculated the election results by adding the totals from the five precincts in LW using the “results by precinct” option from the OC Registrar of Voters office’s website. Here’s a look at how LW voted in the 2020 Election: President Donald Trump: 3,231 Joseph R. Biden: 3,029 Congress 48th Dist.
