Teresa Hernandez, President

Lincoln Club of Orange County, Irvine

Teresa Hernandez, restaurateur and small business owner, was named the next president of the Lincoln Club of Orange County in 2021, making her the first Hispanic woman to lead California's oldest and largest conservative donor organization. Ms. Hernandez served as the vice president of the club since 2016 and has been a passionate, active member since 2012. Teresa Hernandez is a seasoned restauranteur and small business owner. Her 34-year-old restaurant El Cielito Lindo was a 200-seat boutique restaurant and bar. El Cielito Lindo unfortunately closed due to challenges of operating under California's shutdown orders, but Ms. Hernandez immediately got to work developing a new restaurant set to open soon at the District at Tustin Legacy. Casa Del Sol will be located inside the promenade area.
