My name is Danett Abbott-Wicker and I reside in Orange, CA. I have lived in Orange since 1972 – I attended local schools, and attended California State University, Fullerton, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communications.

I ran for City Council this last cycle and unfortunately did not win, but I want to run again because the city of Orange city council is painfully behind the times. They are anti-science, anti-mask, and were for opening businesses during the spike in April 2020. I want to be on the council so I can introduce a Single Payer health care system for city employees. Whatever the city is currently paying to provide commercial health insurance to their employees, that amount would be cut by 50% or more under a Single Payer Medicare for All system. This would free up that money for other city services, like parks, public safety, affordable housing, streets and other infrastructure needs, and renewable energy projects.
