About Nancy

By Nancy Padberg

Why you should vote for Nancy Padberg

As an experienced attorney, I have served as arbitrator and mediator settling numerous million dollar disputes and earning the respect of opposing parties and their attorneys. I have litigated complex civil cases and general law matters. While serving as a law clerk in the District Attorney's homicide unit I saw the devastating effects of felony crimes on victims and their families.

While serving as a College Trustee for the past 12 years I have developed a conservative record and one of sound fiscal management. The SO Orange CO. Community College District is on solid financial footing and is well regarded through out the state.

I developed Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect teams for two major teaching hospitals and assisted many victims of violent crimes in the use of the Victims of Violent Crimes program. I also have served as an expert and percipient witness for the prosecution in numerous criminal court proceedings.

Prior to practicing law and nearly 20 years ago, I was instrumental in securing the arrest and conviction of a high school teacher who was convicted of inappropriate actions with students for nearly ten years. When school administration and local law enforcement were unable to protect our students, I was able to secure his removal from the classroom and end his access to students by getting his teaching credential revoked before his conviction and incarceration.

I hold JD, MA & BA degrees and am admitted to all courts in California and the Washington, DC Board of Contract appeals. As a former educator I taught graduate students at several universities. For the past 12 years I have proudly served as an elected college trustee making many improvements in our education system. I was able to assist in dramatically changing the college district's financial status from "financial watch list" to one with healthy reserves and self-funded capital improvements--all without additional taxes.

I am a member of numerous professional and community groups and have been selected as an appointee to local governmental committees. As a 25 year resident of Orange County, my family and I enjoy with you all the many benefits of our great county.

Sincerely, Nancy
