| Fullerton, CA – State Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva announced her endorsement of Joe Kerr for Orange County Supervisor today. Quirk-Silva, who is among the best known public figures in North Orange County, joins a long list of local leaders who are supporting Kerr. Kerr’s campaign previously announced endorsements from Congressman Lou Correa, former Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (Ret.), former State Senator Joe Dunn, and State Assemblymember Tom Daly.
In announcing her endorsement, Quirk-Silva stated:
“We need Joe Kerr’s leadership and experience on the Board of Supervisors. Joe has dedicated his life to keeping Orange County safe, and his public service is an expression of his values. I am proud to announce my endorsement of Joe Kerr because I know he will make a great supervisor – one who is thoughtful, fair, transparent, and effective.”
Quirk-Silva represents California’s 65th district in the State Assembly, which covers around 53% of Orange County’s 4th Supervisorial seat. She previously served as a Councilmember and Mayor in the City of Fullerton.
Joe Kerr is a second-generation professional firefighter who served as a fire captain with the Orange County Fire Authority and Orange County Fire Department for over 25 years.
