A blue wave flooded Irvine City Hall on election night with the four candidates endorsed by the Democratic Party set to take all contested seats. Those seats were previously split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

The mayoral seat was held by Republican Christina Shea; the city council seats were held by Republican Mike Carroll, Democrat Farrah Khan, and Democrat Melissa Fox.
