Orange Board of Supervisors candidate Capelle’s election endorsed by property rights group
Jason Capelle, an Orange County Board of Supervisors candidate for District 1, has been endorsed for election by the Private Property Rights Institute (PPRI), an advocacy group for economic rights for property owners.
“Private property rights is the foundation of our democracy and the cornerstone of a free economy,” PPRI spokesman Dom Arzon said. “That’s why we are proud to endorse Jason Capelle, who we believe shares these values.”
Capelle, an Independent, is running against fellow Independents Andrew Fossen, a Realtor, and Chris Herndon, co-owner and manager of Orange Tire Inc.
Capelle, who is the current chairman of the Orange County Planning Commission, touts his history of hard work since the age of 12. He has a degree in architecture, owns a fish farm agritourism business and successfully fought a five-year legal battle against a strip-mining operation in Orange County.
He and his wife Sunnie, a spectral scientist, operate C-Star Solutions, which conducts research and development supporting U.S. warfighters. He also is the vice president of business development of Chimera Enterprises International.
Capelle stands for increased jobs and economic prosperity, low taxes, fair development, protecting water resources, higher quality of life and broad access to broadband FiberLync. He also stands for restrictions and standards on data centers, distribution centers and industrial solar.
The election is November 11, but early in-person voting starts September 19. You can also request a mail-in ballot up until October 24. More information can be found here.
