My name is Nathaniel Fernandez Epstein and I am running for Orange County Assessor. I was born and raised in Los Angeles with Filipino and Jewish heritage. I attended college at UCLA where I earned my bachelor’s degree. After college, I worked for a few years before moving to Orange County to pursue a Juris Doctorate degree from Whittier Law School. I am currently a member of the State Bar of California.
I am an estate planning, probate administration, and trust litigation attorney. For nearly the past seven years, almost every document I worked on was impacted in some way or another by the Assessor’s office. The role of the Assessor is to determine the value of all taxable property in the county for tax purposes. I feel that such an important position within our county government should be fair, transparent, and easily accessible to the citizens it serves. As such, I will bring a new generation of leadership and vision to the office.
My goal as your assessor is to ensure the hard-working residents of Orange County are not being taken advantage of by the current system. It is for this reason, I have decided to run to bring a fresh perspective to the office that our residents so desperately need. By making the office more efficient, I will be a fierce voice for the taxpayers of Orange County and work vigorously towards saving tax payers’ money and will refund overassessments.
Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors for the Youth Center of Los Alamitos, the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Orange County, and a founding member of Buena Park United. In my free time, I enjoy photography, playing with my dogs, and watching UCLA football.
Please support my campaign as we work together to build a better Orange County.
