Sen. Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel), who is terming out this year, is running for Orange County supervisor in the Nov. 8 election to be a “significant voice” for District 5 residents.

Bates, who previously served as a county supervisor for seven years, said her understanding of how state issues impact local government will help her better represent residents.
