Incumbent Sen. John Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa), who appears headed for defeat in a bid to retain his seat in the California state Senate, has indicated that he’s considering a run to replace departing Chairwoman Michelle Steel on the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
Steel is headed to Washington after winning a tight race in California’s 48th Congressional District during the Nov. 3 election. She defeated incumbent Rep. Harley Rouda (D-Newport Beach), who recently conceded.
