After a 6-year hiatus, Larry Agran, former Irvine Mayor and Councilmember, is running for City Council because, in his words, “I want to restore good planning, safeguard our City-owned parklands, get COVID-19 under control here in Irvine, and implement the mandate of the voters to immediately begin construction of the Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery at the ARDA site in our 1,300-acre Great Park.”

The Shea-Carroll plan is to bring office, commercial, and industrial development to the Great Park…and thousands of cars to the site every day.

Unelected Mayor Christina Shea and unelected Councilman Michael Carroll — both on the Nov. 3rd City election ballot — are required by State law to include the word Appointed in their ballot designations.  The law requires that voters are informed that the positions Shea and Carroll now hold in Irvine City government came by way of controversial political appointment and not through an election by the people.

Shea is complying with State law, running as “Appointed Irvine Mayor.”  But Carroll, who is a lawyer, refused to put Appointed in his ballot designation.
