ORANGE, Calif.—Mayor of Orange Mark Murphy faced off against his sole challenger in the upcoming election, Adrienne Gladson, in a forum on Oct. 6. They discussed post-pandemic economic recovery, public safety, and a controversial local ballot measure.

Murphy, who served as mayor from 2000 to 2006 and was reelected in 2018, touted his record, his business acumen, and his endorsements by local law enforcement as primary reasons voters should keep him in office.
