Running for: Secretary of State · California

Orange County Supervisor

In their own words

As California's Chief Elections Officer, I will ensure every eligible voter's right to participate in our democracy, every legitimate vote is counted, and every Californian can trust the result, no matter who wins. California's election system is mismanaged and broken.

In the candidate's own words, from the California Official Voter Information Guide, November 3, 2026 General Election: Candidate Statements, p. 3. Statements aren't fact-checked by the elections office or by us.

In LAist's voter guide

“Wagner, an Orange County supervisor, former mayor of Irvine and ex-state assemblymember, is running on a platform of election integrity. As supervisor, he criticized the state’s COVID-19 response, questioned the county’s investment in diversity, equity and inclusion programs and pushed for the release of sensitive voter information to President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice over claims of voting irregularities.” (CalMatters via LAist)
