Orland City Council Race Puts Three Seats on Nov. 3 Ballot
Three of five Orland City Council seats are up for election on Nov. 3, with two contested four-year at-large seats and one uncontested two-year seat. The four-year races feature incumbents John McDermott and Vice Mayor Alex Enriquez alongside challengers Sharon Lazorko and Andy Ramirez; the top two vote-getters win terms running through Dec. 2030. Wade Elliott is unopposed for a two-year seat he was appointed to in May after Matt Romano's March resignation, with that term ending Dec. 2028. The article notes Orland has experienced significant staff turnover over the past two years, including departures of two council members, two city managers, an assistant city manager, two city planners, and the city attorney. Elected officials are sworn in in December.
