LA MIRADA, Calif. — La
Mirada City Councilman Andrew Sarega, a Republican, announced Tuesday that
he will be a
candidate
for the U.S. House of Representatives to replace retiring Rep.
Ed Royce in Congress.
Sarega said he will commit $200,000
to help fund his campaign and will file documents with the Federal Election
Commission.
“I have grown extremely frustrated with the careless
manner in which both Sacramento and Washington D.C. politicians enact
laws that negatively impact our communities,” Sarega said. “As a Councilman, I
have seen firsthand how these laws take local control away from residents and
replace our neighborhoods with one-size-fits-all
policies. Out-of-touch
politicians need to be held accountable. Many are entrenched in their jobs, serving
special interests at the expense of their constituents.”
Sarega,
30, a retired Newport Beach police officer who was injured in the line of duty,
will make his formal declaration in the coming week at an event with family and
friends.
First
elected to the La Mirada City Council in 2013, at the age of 25, Sarega was reelected
to a second term in 2017.
Sarega
serves
on several county and state boards that deal with policy issues ranging from
public safety to regional development. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree
in Criminal Justice from Cal State Fullerton and a Master’s of Public
Administration from National University. He and his wife Susan have been
married for four years.
