The first Democrat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 12 years took office Tuesday, as the supervisors scheduled a March 12 special election to replace the seat Todd Spitzer held until he was sworn in Monday as district attorney. Doug Chaffee, a moderate Democrat and former Fullerton mayor, won election in November to the north county 4th District seat. In their speeches, Chaffee, Bartlett and Steel did not offer any policy specifics for what they plan to do over the coming years. The closest was a general desire to continue building the county’s homeless services, expressed without specifics by Bartlett, Chaffee, and Do.
