As an Assemblyman, he represents much of the Little Saigon area of northwestern Orange County, along with the cities of Garden Grove, Stanton, Westminster, Los Alamitos, Rossmoor, and Seal Beach, Midway City and portions of Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and Fountain Valley.
Prior to being elected to the Assembly, Ta served as Mayor of the city of Westminster.
He was born in Saigon, Vietnam; which is now Ho Chi Minh City.
Ta is a father and a husband, whose American Dream began while seeking political freedom from Communist North Vietnam, and so his family immigrated to the United States from Vietnam during the conflict in Saigon, South Vietnam.
He and his family currently live in Westminster. He earned a degree in international relations from California State University, Los Angeles, and was elected to the Westminster City Council in 2006. In 2008, he was selected to serve as the mayor pro tem and was elected, by the voters, as mayor in 2012.
Ta made history as he became the first Vietnamese-American elected mayor in the United States.
He said that his mindset while serving as Mayor, was always about public service, and he also said that because the City of Westminster and the United States have both given him so much, he believes it’s only right that in return he should do his best to make the city and community better for everyone. He is a principled person who believes in fairness and continues to stand up for the small business owners and their employees, that are the heart of the local communities.
Mr. Ta’s office is located at 14361 Beach Blvd., Ste. 211, in Westminster; the office telephone number is 714-379-0970.
