DEMOCRATS UNIFY TO FORM “TEAM IRVINE” SLATE IN RACES FOR STATE ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 68, IRVINE MAYOR, AND IRVINE CITY COUNCIL

IRVINE, CA June 23, 2020– Today, four local Democratic campaigns announced the formation of a unity slate called “Team Irvine” in the upcoming November 2020 elections for California State Assembly District 68, Irvine Mayor, and two open seats on the Irvine City Council.

The four campaigns comprising “Team Irvine” are Melissa Fox for California Assembly District 68, Farrah N. Khan for Irvine Mayor, and Tammy Kim and Lauren Johnson-Norris for Irvine City Council. Currently, Melissa Fox and Farrah N. Khan are Irvine City Councilmembers, and Tammy Kim and Lauren Johnson-Norris are Irvine Commissioners.

The group also released the following joint statement with their announcement:

“As Orange County Democrats, we know the hard work that goes into Democrats elected. The past few years have seen incredible gains, including electing an entirely Democratic congressional delegation, turning Orange County blue with registered voters, and nominating more women and people of color to run for the California Assembly and Senate. We cannot let that energy fade in November. We must ensure that our Blue Wave reaches every local office, including Irvine. That’s why we are setting the bar for other Democrats and joining forces with one goal in mind — ensuring that we elect Democrats to office in Irvine and across Orange County. We need each other to win.”
