Candidates’ Forum Brings Orange City Council and Mayoral Candidates Together

Orange residents will have the opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for mayor and City Council at an upcoming Candidates’ Forum hosted by the Orange Chamber of Commerce. The event will give voters a chance to learn more about the candidates’ priorities and hear them discuss issues facing the City of Orange ahead of the November election.  

The forum will be moderated by Gaddi Vasquez, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Confirmed participants include mayoral candidates Mayor Dan Slater and Councilwoman Arianna Barrios, along with AJ Ricci and Brandy Romero for District 1, Denis Bilodeau for District 4, and Brenden Moeller for District 6.  

For Orange residents, the forum offers a valuable opportunity to compare candidates, hear their positions in their own words, and become better informed before casting a ballot.

The Candidates’ Forum takes place Thursday, Aug. 13 from 6 PM to 8 PM at Santiago Canyon College, H Building, located at 8045 East Chapman Ave. in Orange. Admission and parking are free.
