My Irvine picks

Jenny Rae Le Roux is running for Congress to bring accountability back to government, and she's backing candidates up and down the Irvine ballot who share that commitment. As a government watchdog, she has exposed how public money gets wasted and misdirected. The officials on this slate, from Sacramento to the Irvine school board, decide whether that keeps happening. They also decide what Irvine families pay for gas, for housing and in taxes, which is why Jenny Rae opposes the new tax measures on this ballot and supports candidates who treat the budget like it's their own. "Accountability isn't a party issue," she says. "It's about whether the people you elect respect your money."
