In addition to breaking nearly every campaign promise she made in 2022, what I find most disturbing — and dangerous — about Kathleen Treseder is her long-documented history of attacking those who disagree with her.

These are not two isolated instances.

The City of Irvine has once again been recognized as the “Best City to Live In” by readers of The Orange County Register, earning the honor for an impressive 11th consecutive year.

Based on FBI crime data, Irvine is the “Safest Big City in America” for the 21st consecutive year!

In the Nov. 3 election, ICNV endorses Mayor Larry Agran for re-election.

In just the past few years, Hong has built an impressive record of accomplishment — including the successful implementation of the Irvine Urban Forest Master Plan, the expansion of the City’s free green transit shuttle bus system (Irvine CONNECT), and the City’s expanded solar rooftop and battery storage program.

Irvine residents are seeing their paychecks outpace inflation faster than those in nearly any other major U.S. city, according to a recent study by financial technology company SmartAsset.

The City also stands out for its high-earning households, giving Irvine the third-highest share in the nation

The Irvine City Council has approved a five-year agreement with Innovation Baseball Partners (IBP) to bring a professional baseball team to the Great Park Championship Baseball Stadium beginning next summer.

Community organizations and local teams, including the OC Riptide summer collegiate baseball team, will continue to have access to the stadium.

On August 11th, hundreds of cyclists, walkers, and four-legged companions crossed the I-5 Freeway as the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail (JOST) Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge officially opened.

Made possible in part by $14.5 million in state funding, the bridge represents another step toward Irvine’s vision of an interconnected trail system that could eventually stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.

In the upcoming Nov. 3 election, one of the top concerns among voters is skyrocketing electricity bills.

Hong’s opponent, at-large Councilmember Kathleen Treseder, has made the defense of OCPA her top campaign priority. Despite three failed audits and soaring monthly electricity rates, Treseder continues to boast that she will always support OCPA “no matter what.”

Mayor Larry Agran’s vision to make Irvine the greenest city in America builds on decades of leadership. His early efforts helped establish Irvine’s renowned park system — now ranked No. 1 in California and No. 2 in the entire nation — and launched a goal to plant 500,000 trees citywide.

To help reach that goal, the City has launched two new programs giving residents opportunities to grow Irvine’s urban forest.

The Irvine Community Land Trust (ICLT) is a nonprofit organization that was established in 2006 by the City of Irvine to develop and preserve permanent, low-cost housing for working families and individuals. Over the past two decades, the Land Trust has provided thousands of Irvine families with high-quality affordable housing units.

The Board stated that Ms. Treseder was removed for cause after she conditioned her support for a new affordable housing project on the removal of a director with whom she did not get along and then stopped attending Land Trust meetings when the Board refused her demand.

On November 3rd, Irvine voters will head to the polls to elect the City’s Mayor.

In the coming weeks, Irvine Community News & Views will provide more detailed information regarding the leading candidates running for Mayor and City Council.
