COSTA MESA, Calif.—California State Attorney General Rob Bonta approved a legal challenge May 5 that seeks to remove Orange County Board of Trustee Rebecca “Beckie” Gomez from office for simultaneously serving on two elected seats whose jurisdictions overlap.

Tustin resident Mike Tardif filed a quo warranto—a legal challenge questioning the ability of someone to hold public office—to Bonta’s office shortly after serving Gomez with the lawsuit on March 2.
