Why I’m Running

Larry’s Priorities

CAREFUL PLANNING

Larry has always put Irvine residents first! He’s working hard to make Irvine the safest, smartest, greenest, healthiest, and kindest city in America.

He has a proven record of supporting careful planning and placing strong restrictions on warehouses and overdevelopment.

Larry’s leadership led to our beautiful parks system (ranked the best in California!) and lots of green space for families to enjoy today and for generations to come.

Larry does not take money from land developers and corporate special interest groups that want to control our City.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

As Irvine’s Mayor years ago, Larry worked alongside our City’s residents to pass an historic ballot initiative that preserved more than 10,000 acres of Open Space for families to enjoy, forever free from development … at no cost to Irvine taxpayers.

Larry also worked with residents in North Irvine to shut down the City’s largest industrial polluter. The land is now being restored to its natural form, creating new biking and hiking trails to connect Irvine residents to tens of thousands of acres of open space.

The City is currently working on Larry’s Urban Forest Master Plan, which calls for planting tens of thousands of new trees to help clean the air, sequester carbon, cool the City, and help us reach our Climate Action Plan goals.

BUILDING OUR GREAT PARK

As Irvine’s Mayor, Larry has been working to bring a number of resident-requested amenities to our Great Park.

As a result of Larry’s collaborative work with the Chair of the Great Park Board and thousands of Irvine residents, the City is currently building museums, restaurants, two lakes, walking paths, and botanical gardens. And, Larry was the driving force in returning the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum to its home here in Irvine.

Also under construction right now is our beautiful, voter-endorsed Veterans Memorial Park honoring Irvine’s nearly six-decade military history. Our long-promised Veterans Memorial Park includes trees, trails, and memorial gardens . . . with installations and exhibits that honor the history of service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families.

PROTECT TAXPAYERS

While Larry is a proven environmental leader, he also believes strongly in protecting Irvine taxpayer dollars. That’s why he has continued to speak out against the forced enrollment of all Irvine businesses and households in the disastrous Orange County Power Authority (OCPA).

Larry has been raising red flags about OCPA since the agency launched in 2022. Since that time, a scathing Orange County Grand Jury report was released along with a County and State audit. All three investigations revealed gross mismanagement, deception, and financial instability at OCPA.

As Irvine’s Mayor, Larry has focused on finding real solutions to help speed our City toward carbon-neutrality, without gouging Irvine residents and business owners.

Larry’s Supporters

In large part because of Larry’s efforts, the asphalt plant has now been shut down and the land around the site is being restored to its natural state.

I live in north Irvine and I support Larry Agran because he was the only member of the City Council to show a genuine interest in helping families like mine who had been left on our own to deal with the effects of a toxic asphalt plant in our neighborhood.In large part because of Larry’s efforts, the asphalt plant has now been shut down and the land around the site is being restored to its natural state.

Michele Garcia-Juardo

I’ve known Larry Agran for decades. He never backs down from a seemingly impossible goal, if he’s convinced that it’s for Irvine’s good.

Larry not only moves mountains, he involves himself in the minutia of running a city. He makes it a point to know and listen to as many people as possible, so that he can build a strong team. No project is too small, and no resident or need is too insignificant. Those are the qualities we need in a Mayor.

Larry led the effort to defeat the County Supervisors’ scheme to build a huge, noisy airport — El Toro International Airport — right here in Irvine. With his leadership, we all won! By defeating the airport, Larry Agran protected Irvine’s quality of life … and our property values.

The Solar Decathlon, an award-winning design competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, had been held over a 10-year period on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

In 2013 and again in 2015, Larry Agran’s bold, visionary leadership brought the event to the Great Park. Each event was a huge success, drawing thousands of visitors and highlighting Irvine’s commitment to excellence in education, innovation, and community engagement.
