The Irvine City Council election in Southern California is gaining national attention for reasons unrelated to the candidates’ plans for the city. Among the 12 City Council candidates for two available seats, David Chey has been placed under the media spotlight.
On Oct. 28, the Los Angeles Times published an article resurfacing old news about the candidate a week and a half before the election. The article rehashes a 2016 article saying that Chey enables his elderly mother to panhandle in Irvine and Laguna Beach by picking her up and dropping her off.
