Orange County has a new Assemblyman tonight and its Chris Norby.

Norby. a Republican, easily beat two other rivals in Tuesday's runoff, taking 62 percent of the vote. Democrat John MacMurray was second with 32 percent, followed by Green Party candidate Jane Rands with 6 percent.

Norby will replace former Assemblyman Mike Duvall who made national and international headlines last Fall for his "open microphone" dirty talk of sexual conquests with a female lobbyist during a Assembly hearing last year.

The runoff was scheduled after no candidate cleared 50 percent of the vote needed to win outright in a November special election. The district includes the cities of Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia, Orange, Brea, Yorba Linda and La Habra. Republicans hold a 10 point registration advantage here, so his victory by more than 2 to 1 surprised many hopefull Dem Party leaders

Duvall, who championed family values in the Legislature, stepped down in September after the now infamous videotape was leaked to the media that described in great details about his kinky liaisons. The married father of two said later that his only offense was "inappropriate storytelling."

Regardless, the Democratic Party tried to capitalize on Duvall's misque and tonight the voters in the upscale OC district voted for Norby by more than 2 to 1.

CHRIS NORBY (REP) 20,292 62.9%

JOHN MACMURRAY (DEM) 10,018 31.0%

JANE RANDS (GRN) 1,963 6.1%

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
