Jeff von Waldburg, a business owner and 22-year resident, is running in the upcoming Nov. 8 election to fill one of the open seats from terming out Laguna Niguel city councilors. His opponents are Melissa Caldwell, Ray Gennawey, Javad Mokhbery, Stephanie Oddo, and Stephanie Winstead.
He said he was close to moving out of state amid frustrations from the pandemic’s effect on his hometown but has now doubled down and wants to help lead the city.
