In 2016, Stephanie Klopfenstein was elected to the Garden Grove City Council. Born and raised in Garden Grove, she is a 4th generation resident with family roots tracing back to the town’s early beginnings in the late 1800’s.

A proud product of the Garden Grove Unified School District, Council Member Klopfenstein spent time traveling and working abroad in radio broadcasting. Drawn back to her deep ancestral roots and desire to give back to her community, she returned to Garden Grove; where she then married the “boy next door” and together are raising their daughter, a successful 5th generation, GGUSD student!

Council Member Klopfenstein is an active volunteer in her community and will continue to work hard to bring prosperity and growth to Garden Grove, while striving to enhance the safety and family-friendly environment our great city deserves.

Stephanie currently sits as Vice President of the Garden Grove Community Foundation, is a board member on OCTA and OC Sanitation District, as well as President of the Association of California Cities, Orange County ( ACC-OC). She also serves and actively helps the Garden Grove Neighborhood Association, Boys and Girls Club of Garden Grove and First 5 Orange County.
