What to know about living in Irvine and ongoing issues affecting our city

Irvine is a world-class master-planned city. We are one of the top cities in America for our expansive park systems and open space preserves. We are known throughout the United States as an award-winning family-friendly community with excellent schools.  

Over the past several years, many residents experienced a downturn in our quality of life in many of our Villages and the City overall.

As your new mayor, I want to return our city to the model city I chose as my home to raise my three children.

  • Public Safety: We have to provide more financial support for our public safety department, as we are seeing increased crime rates

  • Great Park Development: Our Great Park neighborhood requires a retail center to support the villages in the Great Park Neighborhoods

  • Libraries: I support the state-of-the-art library on the cultural terrace in the Great Park and the renovation of the Irvine public libraries

  • Veterans: Our veterans deserve our support, and we have to make sure to provide the promised Orange County Veterans Cemetery

  • Transparency: Our city council has to be open to the public and accessible to our residents, ensuring complete transparency

  • Fiscal Accountability: We must prioritize our budget spending to reflect priority needs and necessary municipal services

  • All American Asphalt: North Irvine residents must be protected from the emissions produced by the All American Asphalt Plant

  • Traffic management: Our City Traffic Research and Control Center must be updated with the best technology to ensure traffic moves more efficiently through our streets
