Central OC Times

Lou Correa, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 46th district since 2017, has recently shared his perspectives on housing affordability, healthcare programs, and legal challenges surrounding executive orders. With a career spanning various political roles within California, Correa's focus remains on addressing critical issues affecting his constituents.

On March 18, 2025, Correa addressed the issue of housing affordability in Orange County through a collaboration with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and the Orange County Business Council. He emphasized that "Homeownership is the American Dream—but too many OC families can't afford a place to live." This initiative aims to unite housing leaders and financial institutions to develop real solutions for more accessible housing.

On March 19, 2025, he hosted a community discussion focusing on healthcare and the preservation of key social programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. In this conversation, Correa highlighted concerns over potential threats to these programs by stating "Last night, I invited some of our neighbors for a community conversation on healthcare and the threats being made against Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security."

Later that day, Correa commented on the legal scrutiny faced by former President Trump's executive orders. He remarked that these orders have transformed national courts into significant legal arenas due to their controversial nature. According to Correa "Pres. Trump's executive orders helped him deport migrants...but their legality has turned our nation's courts into a major legal battleground."
