He received his B.A. from Occidental College in 1972 and an M.A. in History from California State University, Fullerton in 1989.

Municipal Officials for Redevelopment Reform

Norby is the founder of Municipal Officials for Redevelopment Reform (MORR), a statewide coalition to end widespread abuse by redevelopment agencies. Long concerned with abuse of eminent domain and public subsidies to private development, Norby has been a leading advocate of more equitable sales and property tax distribution for cities and counties. Norby is the author of "Redevelopment: The Unknown Government."

Supervisor of the Fourth District

Norby was elected to the Orange County Board of Supervisors in March, 2002. He unseated incumbent Cynthia Code by a 54% to 46% margin,[1] making him the first challenger to defeat an incumbent board member since 1978. He was sworn-in as the 4th District's Supervisor on January 6, 2003, and represented the cities of Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, Buena Park, Brea, and part of Anaheim (west of the 57 freeway). Norby was chosen by his colleagues as Vice Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in 2006 and the Chairman of the Board in 2007.

First State Assembly campaign

Norby won the January 12, 2010 special election with 63% of the vote to succeed fellow Republican Michael D. Duvall, who resigned amid scandal. Norby had defeated Linda Ackerman, wife of former Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman, for the nomination on November 17, 2009.
