Irvine, CA – In a resounding display of confidence and support, the Democratic Party of Orange County (DPOC) has endorsed Irvine Councilmember Tammy Kim in her bid for mayor. At Monday’s membership meeting, Kim garnered an impressive 73% of the votes, while the option of “no endorsement” received 23%. Her opponent, Larry Agran, failed to secure any votes, highlighting the strong backing Kim enjoys within the party.
This endorsement is a significant milestone in Kim’s campaign, marked by her commitment to public safety, housing affordability, and planning for Irvine’s future growth. Elected to the Irvine City Council in 2020 with a record number of votes, Kim has continued to serve her community as a member of the Central Committee and Vice Chair of the California Democratic Party API Caucus.
Congresswoman Katie Porter, a prominent supporter of Kim, spoke passionately about her candidacy, urging voters to rally behind Kim. “Tammy Kim has shown unparalleled dedication to our community, and her leadership is exactly what Irvine needs to face the challenges of the future. I urge everyone to support her in this critical election,” Porter stated.
The DPOC’s endorsement is a testament to Kim’s strong leadership and the trust she has earned from her fellow party members. As the mayoral race heats up, this endorsement positions her as the frontrunner, with significant momentum heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
With the election approaching, Tammy Kim’s supporters are energized and optimistic about her chances of leading Irvine into a prosperous and well-planned future. The endorsement from the Democratic Party of Orange County is a clear indication of the strong support she has within the party, and it sets the stage for what promises to be a pivotal election for the city of Irvine. Tammy has already received the endorsement from elected officials, including Andy Kim, Dave Min, Sukhee Kang, Fred Jung, Joyce Ahn, John Lee, Judy Chu, and Ted Lieu.

Anyone who supports Tammy Kim, clearly, does not know about her history on the Irvine City Council. She has cost our city almost $2 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, FOR 10 YEARS, in lost revenue, by a “deal” she rushed through, lied about, and now 160 USELESS EV Charging Stations sit at the Great Park. She has called out residents from the dais, making false accusations about them just because they don’t agree with her on social media. She even bullies her own colleagues if they don’t agree with her, and goes on and on about it, wasting council time and resources. She is vindictive and self-centered. All you have to do is watch one or two City Council meetings and listen to her self-serving dialogue…it’s pathetic! She doesn’t care about public safety or quality of life. If someone is willing to pay her for her vote, she won’t think twice. The number one toxic polluter in Irvine was All American Asphalt. Tammy Kim had no sympathy for the moms, dads, and kids that came before the council in droves, speaking about how they can’t even open their windows. But Tammy Kim didn’t care, she told them they were creating “hysteria”. It was Vice-Mayor Larry Agran that was able to singlehandedly come up with an idea to get them to move out of Irvine, and now he is asking for the councils support to turn the land into a wildlife preserve. Please, VOTE NO for TAMMY KIM, for MAYOR, and also when she tries later on for CITY COUNCIL. I won’t even suggest here on who I think you should vote for, because this is more about not voting for Tammy Kim then it is about anyone else!!!!
