Officials in Orange Consider Special Election After Judge Annuls Councilman’s Victory
Though a judge has ordered Mike Alvarez to vacate his seat on the Orange City Council, it’s unclear how the situation will play out.
Undeterred by the city’s two-term limit, Alvarez ran again and was elected to a third term last November, after the city changed from at-large to district elections in 2019. But a consolidated lawsuit filed by resident Michael MacIsaac and John Russo, one of Alvarez’s opponents in 2020, has resulted in an annulment of the councilmember’s victory, leaving the Southern California city’s Third District council seat vacant.
