Irvine City Council Candidates Split on Green Power and Housing

Irvine voters got their first chance to hear from many of their candidates for city council on Sunday night in a forum – weighing in on the future of green power and how to best address the housing crisis.

The forum was hosted online by volunteer group Irvine Watchdog, who asked candidates a series of yes or no questions and let them go more in depth on some of the issues.

The discussion comes as the city transitions to district elections – meaning residents can only vote for one city candidate in the district they reside in.

In the city’s old at-large elections, voters across the city got to vote for as many candidates as there were city council seats up for grabs. For example, if three seats were up for election, voters could select three candidates.
