Timeline

1938

Bruce Kenneth Nestande (January 28, 1938 – July 9, 2020) was an American politician who served as a Republican California State Assemblyman and Orange County Supervisor.

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nestande was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics but opted to attend college on an Reserve Officers' Training Corps scholarship instead.

1960

He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science in economics and political science, and he later went on to earn his J.D. from Lincoln Law School of Sacramento.

Upon graduating from the University of Minnesota, Nestande was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in 1960.

During his Marine service, he served four years on active duty, including fourteen months with an infantry battalion in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.

1966

In 1966, Nestande became the inaugural director of the full-scale replica building of Independence Hall at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.

1971

He was a special assistant to Governor Ronald Reagan from 1971–1972, State Field Director of Operations for the California Committee for the Re-Election of the President in 1972, and Executive Director of the California Republican Party from 1972–1973.

1972

He retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1972, having attained the rank of captain.

1974

Nestande returned to Reagan's office in 1974 but left after less than a year when he was elected to the California State Assembly to represent the 70th District in Orange County.

He quickly climbed in the legislative leadership, becoming Assembly Minority Whip in his second term, and then Minority Caucus Chairman (the second-ranking position in the Assembly Republican leadership) in his third term.

During his three terms in the Assembly, he served as Chairman of the Human Resources Committee and the Select Committee on Veterans Affairs.

He was also a member of the Criminal Justice, Housing and Community Development Committee; the Ways and Means Committee; and the Resources, Land Use and Energy Committee.

1980

Rather than seeking a fourth Assembly term in 1980, Nestande successfully sought election to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, defeating incumbent Edison Miller.

As a result of the 1980 campaign, Miller sued Nestande for defamation.

Nestande won summary judgment against Miller, who appealed, but the California Fourth District Court of Appeal unanimously confirmed Nestande's victory.

1984

Nestande won re-election to the Board of Supervisors in 1984.

From 1984–1988, Nestande was a member of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

During his tenure on the Board of Supervisors, Nestande helped launch a number of transportation projects, including the Toll Roads of Orange County.

He also helped push for the construction of Prado Dam in Riverside County.

1986

In the November 1986 election, Nestande unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Secretary of State March Fong Eu and would resign from the Board of Supervisors less than three months later, in January 1987.

1994

In 1994, he was campaign chairman for Michael Huffington's bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, which Huffington narrowly lost to Feinstein by 1.9%.

Nestande moved from Orange, California to nearby Newport Beach, after divorcing his long-time wife, Beverly.

His older son, Barry, a former attache to the Congo, served the last eight years of his life as the Chief of Staff to John J. Benoit (during Benoit's tenure as State Assemblyman, State Senator, and Riverside County Supervisor) and was recognized as one of California's top political strategists.

2007

In 2007, Nestande pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI and hit and run charges as well as charges of filing fraudulent insurance claim.

The plea agreement was in exchange for prosecutors dropping felony charges.

He was sentenced to 6 months in jail and three years probation.

2008

His younger son, Brian, a former Chief of Staff to Congressman Sonny Bono and Congresswoman Mary Bono and owner of the political consulting firm of Nestande & Associates, was elected to the Assembly in 2008 to succeed Benoit, who vacated his Assembly seat to enter the State Senate.

2016

Nestande's daughter-in-law, Gina (Brian's wife), was elected to the Palm Desert City Council in 2016 and became Mayor in 2019.
