What I cover
I cover the biggest issues facing Orange County, including public corruption, debates over our voting system, culture war battles and whatever else is bubbling to the surface of local conversations. (Occasionally they let me out to report on other things going on in SoCal.)
My background
I’ve lived in Orange County for nearly a decade and have been a journalist for close to 25 years, reporting up and down California, Mexico and Central America. Fun facts: I’m fluent in Spanish, and I’m currently fulfilling a lifelong dream of going to law school.
My goals
I want to help Orange County residents understand and navigate the big changes taking place here — cultural, political and in our built and natural environment. I want to hold our public officials accountable and help people build connections with their OC neighbors.
Best way to reach me
I love to hear from readers and listeners, whether it’s to pass me a story tip, gush about your favorite OC hike or take issue with something I wrote. You can reach me at jreplogle@LAist.com or, if you want more privacy, on Signal: @ jillrep.79 .
