LAist | OC Supervisor faces calls to resign including from within Little Saigon

By Josie Huang

Supervisor Andrew Do is Orange County’s most powerful Vietnamese American official, known for mentoring other Vietnamese American conservative politicians from Little Saigon.

But now Do’s ability to serve is being challenged following ethics questions raised by an LAist investigation exposing critical times he failed to disclose family connections.

On Thursday, the county’s largest paper, the Orange County Register, issued a call for Do’s resignation, which was echoed by some in the Vietnamese American community that had helped to catapult him to the county’s highest office.

Tracy La leads the Garden Grove-based advocacy group VietRISE, which is part of a coalition demanding Do resign. Her group has criticized Do for failing to serve the Vietnamese American community on issues such as immigration reform and rent stabilization.

“Andrew Do has built a career pretending to be a champion for Vietnamese people, but he's only proven time and time again that he only cares about his small circle of political allies and cronies,” La said.
