Today, five current and four former members of the Costa Mesa City Council announced their support for Mayor Katrina Foley’s campaign for Orange County Supervisor. The group includes Costa Mesa Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Mar; current councilmembers Manuel Chavez, Loren Gameros, Jeff Harlan, and Arlis Reynolds; former mayors Libby Cowan, Linda Dixon, and Mary Hornbuckle; and former Mayor Pro Tem John Stephens.
“Mayor Katrina Foley’s record of service speaks for itself; she has the experience we need on the Board of Supervisors,” remarked Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marr on announcing her endorsement. “What you can’t tell from a resume is that Katrina cares deeply about the work she does, and brings focus and attention to detail to difficult problems that urgently need solutions. She will make an excellent Supervisor for Orange County.”

Former Costa Mesa City Councilman John Stephens will return to public service after being appointed Tuesday to the Planning Commission.
Stephens left office in December following an unsuccessful reelection campaign in the city’s 1st Voting District.
Council members were tasked with filling four open seats on the seven-member commission, including Districts 1, 2 and 6 and one at-large position, from among 27 candidates.
Districted-seat appointees are first nominated by their district equivalent on the City Council and then voted on by the entire panel and appointed upon majority approval. The mayor is responsible for nominating a candidate for the at-large position, subject to the same approval process.
