The entire Mission Viejo City Council will be up for election this November, after a judge issued a tentative ruling June 28 in a lawsuit between the city and a resident.

While three councilors—Ed Sachs, Greg Raths, and Mayor Wendy Bucknam—were already up for re-election in November, Mission Viejo resident Michael Schlesinger sued the city, arguing that councilors Trish Kelley and Brian Goodell should also appear on the ballot.
