On the heels of a successful 2020 election cycle that saw 20 local seats flipped from red to blue, the Democratic Party of Orange County’s staff are taking on new, larger roles.
At its January 25, 2021 meeting, the Democratic Party of Orange County Central Committee ratified by acclamation new, more senior positions for two current staff. Political Director Ajay Mohan will now serve as Executive Director, and Regional Organizer Lyndsey Lefebvre will now serve as Organizing and Activism Director.
Of the staff’s expanded roles, Chairwoman Ada Briceño said, “Ajay and Lyndsey led outstanding work for local Democrats through the 2020 cycle. I look forward to continuing to work with this dynamic team. Democrats will be well-served as we continue our transformation.”
