Todd Spitzer
I am inspired and proud to dedicate my career to public service as an Orange County Supervisor and former California State Assembly Member.

We must restore faith and trust in our law enforcement and justice system.
As a former prosecutor and current Chairman of the Orange County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, I know what it takes to get justice for victims and work with the community to solve crimes and ensure violent felons stay behind bars. But we also must work to stop crime before it starts. As a former high school teacher and School Board Trustee and business owner, I know that solutions to complex crime problems begins by solving critical issues like homelessness, our kids’ broken education system and ensuring that our economy is growing to provide job opportunities for everyone...read more

“The District Attorney’s office in Orange County is on the wrong track and deserves a fresh direction. Poor leadership and decision making is denying the citizens the top rate agency they deserve. It is time for a change. Todd Spitzer brings decades of experience as a prosecutor, public servant and advocate for the victims of Orange County. Todd is the choice to make the needed change and modernize and improve the office of the District Attorney.”
