Tito Ortiz’s Political Career Ended Less Than Six Months After It Began
In 2020, Ortiz ran for a city council seat in Huntington Beach. He was elected to one of the open seats and was sworn in as Mayor Pro Tempore of Huntington Beach. Less than 6 months later Ortiz would resign from the position after his controversial stance on the COVID-19 pandemic did not align with the state of California’s actions towards limiting the impact of the pandemic.
“To put it simply, this job isn’t working for me,” Ortiz said while announcing his resignation at a June 2021 meeting.
