Letter from the OPA President

The City of Orange is facing a critical election. We need leaders we can count on and trust. That is why the Orange Park Association has proudly endorsed Dan Slater for mayor and Adrienne Gladson for District 6 councilmember. 

Dan is a successful business owner and understands city hall. He served on the Orange City Council from 1994–2002. He was an early supporter (1999) of the “Save Barham Ranch” effort that prevented a housing tract on what is now Santiago Oaks Regional Park. In 2020, he did not hesitate to support the successful “No on AA” campaign as he was one of the five signers for the ballot measure. Dan is a high achiever, problem solver and community builder. 

Adrienne is a retired city planner by profession and currently has her own consulting business. Her extensive knowledge of city government, land use, and the entitlement process makes her uniquely qualified for the city council. She served on the City of Orange Planning Commission that unanimously denied all the entitlements for the high-density Rio Santiago project on the Sully-Miller site. With all the new housing laws and mandates, Adrienne's skills are exactly what we need. She is an invaluable asset. 

Both Dan and Adrienne are longtime City of Orange residents and respected leaders. They are not accepting campaign donations from developers. They both support the cleanup of the “Sully-Miller dumpsite” by the owner rather than the taxpayers of Orange. 

We believe they are the best-qualified candidates to run our city. Most importantly, they will respect the residents and welcome public input and participation. 

Sherry Hart - Panttaja

LET'S TELL THE TRUTH

We believe Orange Voters are not fooled by negative political mailers. We've seen plenty of them over the years. Many of us attended the council meetings in 2005 when the City Council approved 4,100+ homes in East Orange. When this recent political "hit piece" arrived in our mailboxes we knew it was inaccurate. The evidence below tells what really happened. 

Lesson: Negative ads aren't truthful and say more about those that funded them.

New District 6 Map

Every 10 years, local governments use new Census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. 

The City of Orange City Council completed this process on March 22, 2022, and adopted a new City Council district map. This final map will define Orange’s City Council district boundaries for the next 10 years.

This is an important election for our community.

Please vote for Dan Slater and Adrienne Gladson because integrity matters.

Thank you.
