Fourth District Supervisor Doug Chaffee became the new chairman of the OC Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
Supervisor Don Wagner, chair of the board since January 2023, passed the gavel to Chaffee who was vice-chair for the last year in the annual rotation of the board leadership. Supervisor Katrina Foley was elected by her colleagues as vice-chair of the board.
The chair leads the Board of Supervisors meetings and is tasked with preserving order and decorum.
Chaffee has served on the county’s Board of Supervisors since 2018, representing the county’s Fourth District, made up of Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, Stanton and parts of Anaheim. Before joining the board, Chaffee served on the Fullerton City Council and was the city’s mayor in 2014 and 2018.
Foley was appointed a supervisor in 2021 and was re-elected in 2022 to represent the redistricted District 5, which includes the Aliso Viejo, Costa Mesa, Dana Point, parts of Irvine, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and San Juan Capistrano areas. She previously served on the Costa Mesa City Council for 14 years, including as mayor.
