ORANGE, CA - August 12, 2020 -- Orange business owner Arianna Barrios, candidate for Orange City Council District 1, announced more than $34,000 in fundraising for the reporting period ending June 30. Her fundraising efforts have continued nonstop and now the campaign has $40,000 cash on hand. The results align with Barrios’ clear front-runner status, campaign officials said.
“I’m truly humbled and amazed by the support of my community and neighbors,” Barrios said. “As your Council Member from District 1, I plan to preserve our historic neighborhoods, protect public safety, and champion economic recovery and growth so we can pay our bills. For more than 10 years I’ve balanced budgets at the Community College District, and I will bring that same experience to my hometown.”
Barrios is supported by numerous community members. As a homegrown leader, she is endorsed by current Orange Mayor Pro Tem Mike Alvarez, as well as former Orange Mayors Tita Smith and Carolyn Cavecche.
