IRVINE, Calif., March 29, 2016 -- Orange County Business Council (OCBC), the leading voice of business in Orange County, has endorsed retired state Senator Lou Correa for U.S. Congress, 46th District. Correa is the ideal candidate to represent the region in Congress. He holds deep ties to the Orange County community and solid track record aligned with OCBC's initiatives to enhance regional economic prosperity through workforce development and infrastructure investment, and an increased supply of workforce housing.
