Villa Park last minute candidate entry
The last minute entry into the Villa Park race for two city council seats by community activist Patricia Burnes, will mean the contest goes to the voters in November. Among Burnes’ many local political and community interests, she is the Scholarship Chair of the California Federation of Republican Women. Burnes picked up her papers to run minutes before the close of the day on Thursday August 7th, and filed her papers shortly before the August 8th 5 p.m. deadline. Her entry into the race makes three candidates for the two seats.

Wayland to run in Orange Unified Area 6
Mark Wayland pulled and filed papers for the Orange Unified School Board Trustee Area 6 to challenge Arianna Barrios. Wayland, a City of Orange fire fighter for over 30 years (now retired), took out papers and returned them on the final day of filing. The Wayland family has five generations in Orange and is no stranger to politics or Orange Unified. He has four children, Danny, Jeremy, Casey and Katie. Jeremy ran for Orange City Council in 2006 (2.3% of the vote) and Casey “K.C.” is a Chapman University grad and an independent film maker with his own Orange production company called Wayland Productions. Casey enlisted in the Army after 9/11 postponing and restarting his education when duty called. When Casey graduated from Chapman University, he recieved the Cheverton Award, an award that is given to the most outstanding student in that graduating class.
