  1. It is sad – and infuriating. These two completely almost-average humans spending million to get elected.

    Paulette claims to be a leader for the future. She must be pushing 80.

    I would caption this: “Bud has his doubts.”

    1. Don’t either of them or together have children or grandchildren? Must all the money be set aflame on reaching for titles and political positions? Asking for a friend named Johnny B. Chaffee.

  2. These 2 BARF BAGS are ABUSERS OF Bill Chaffee!!!! Bill is DipDugs brother and has special needs… They stole his cat and left him homeless and then moved him out of Fullerton when he spoke up!!!!
    Paulette is a LIAR and A DOCUMENTED KLEPTOMANIAC!!!!!
    Horrible creatures

  3. Doug Chaffee, a Democratic Orange County Supervisor (and former board chairman), has faced several controversies and political challenges, primarily stemming from his close alliance with convicted former Supervisor Andrew Do, his wife’s past criminal behavior, and siding with Republican colleagues on controversial issues.

  4. Association with Convicted Supervisor Andrew Do: Chaffee was a close ally of former Supervisor Andrew Do, calling him a “mentor”. Do later pleaded guilty to federal bribery charges for steering millions in COVID funds to himself, according to Voice of OC. While investigations centered on Do, audits found widespread questionable spending during their joint tenure, reported Voice of OC.

  5. Wife’s Criminal Charges for Stealing Election Signs: In 2018, Doug Chaffee’s wife, Paulette Chaffee, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of petty theft for stealing campaign signs that labeled her a “carpetbagger” during her run for Fullerton City Council. She later pleaded guilty to the charges, according to OC Independent.

  6. Irritating Local Democrats: As a Democrat, Chaffee has drawn anger from his own party by frequently voting with Republican colleagues, such as supporting a 2023 move to restrict the LGBTQ+ Pride flag from being flown on county property. This led to a narrow reelection win in 2022 after his party tried to oust him.

  7. Opposition to New Contracting Rules: In 2024, Chaffee opposed a proposal to tighten rules on revealing familial relationships in county contracts, arguing it would be “cumbersome” and potentially discriminatory, despite the backdrop of the Andrew Do scandal, noted Voice of OC.

  8. OC Power Authority (OCPA) Criticism: Chaffee was involved in the controversial agency, initially defending it before later moving to have the county withdraw from the troubled local power agency after audits revealed severe mismanagement, reported Voice of OC.

  9. Paulette works as an Office Ambassador for her husband’s Fourth District Supervisor office. In this role, she represents the county at local civic events, ribbon cuttings, and affordable housing openings

    What a JOKE
    STAY HOME PAULETTE!!!!!!!!!

    1. She has used Doug “Bud” Chaffee as her ad agent for years and years, both in Fullerton and then at the County. The shameless photobombing also includes Fullerton’s Women’s Club, and any other philanthropic-looking event.

      1. Worthy of her own “unwanted Paulette” meme like the unwanted Ivanka images from Trump’s first term.

        1. A retrospective of her unnecessary presence in event photos might be in order as Bud runs out the clock in his term.
