IRVINE : Six Seek Two Seats on City Council
An incumbent, a former military general and a professional negotiator are among the six people seeking two City Council seats in Irvine’s June 5 election.
Councilman Cameron Cosgrove, who has sided with Mayor Larry Agran on a number of issues, filed papers last week seeking reelection. Cosgrove retained his post despite a court battle to unseat him.
The other incumbent, Councilman Edward A. Dornan, dropped out of the race earlier this month. Also running are William (Art) Bloomer, 57, former commanding general of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station; Barry J. Hammond, 38, professional negotiator and former mayoral candidate; Robert J. West, 50, a real estate consultant and former councilman; Albert E. Nasser, 71, a lawyer; and Mary Ann Gaido, 47, chairwoman of the city’s Planning Commission and former council member.
