As a young man, Pringle ran, unsuccessfully, three times for a seat on the Garden Grove City Council. Garden Grove is a city located in northern Orange County, California, United States. A city council is a form of Local government, usually covering a City or other Urban area, such as a Town.

Willie Lewis Brown Jr (born March 20, 1934) served over thirty years in the California State Assembly, fifteen years as its Speaker and afterwards According to Brown, Pringle was the last Speaker to wield broad power in that office, since rule changes immediately after Pringle's tenure transferred much of the Speaker's authority to committee chairmen.
