Do is now facing an uncertain political future. In a sign of his waning influence, his chosen successor for his supervisor’s seat failed to place in the top two in the March primary.
Andrew Do squeaked onto the Orange County Board of Supervisors by 43 votes in 2015, defeating a veteran politician to become the second Vietnamese American ever to serve on the board. He did so by waging an aggressive voter registration campaign, making himself ubiquitous in Little Saigon’s Vietnamese-language media and sharing a backstory many found familiar. As a child, he had fled Vietnam equipped with little more than English and French dictionaries.
Andrew Do did not return calls for comment. He represents Orange County’s 1st District, a large and diverse area including Cypress, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Westminster and Seal Beach. One of the signature events he sponsors is the free Tet Festival at Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley, which draws thousands of people annually.
