Irvine City Council Names Kuo as Vice Mayor

IRVINE, Ca - Tonight, the Irvine City Council selected Councilmember Anthony Kuo to serve as the Vice Mayor.

"I love Irvine, and the many opportunities I have to serve," Kuo said. He added, "I'm committed to maintaining the quality of life I enjoyed growing up here in Irvine for all families."

Irvine's Vice Mayor is a member of the Irvine City Council who assumes the role of Mayor in the absence of its directly-elected Mayor, Farrah N. Khan. Kuo previously served as Mayor Pro Tempore in 2019. Later in 2020, the City Council re-styled the title to be Vice Mayor.

Anthony Kuo is the first member of the Irvine City Council to have grown up in Irvine. He was first elected in 2018 after nearly eight years as a City Commissioner. He represents the City of Irvine on the Boards of the Orange County Fire Authority, Irvine Barclay Theatre and the Orange County Sanitation District. Outside of City Hall, Kuo also serves on the Boards of the Irvine Children's Fund, the Advisory Board of Crime Survivors Inc, as President of the Irvine Community Land Trust, and Vice Chairman of the Orange County Great Park.
