Meet Anthony Kuo
From Irvine • For Irvine
Anthony Kuo grew up in Irvine, attending our public schools, and has lived in District 5 for over 30 years. For over twenty years, his family owned and operated Chinatown Restaurant, a small business right across the street from UC Irvine, teaching him the value of hard work, responsible budgeting, and community service.
Anthony served eight years as an Irvine Commissioner and four years as a City Councilmember, including as Mayor Pro Tem and later Vice Mayor. Throughout his service, he focused on keeping Irvine safe, protecting taxpayers, supporting public schools, and preserving the quality of life that makes Irvine exceptional.
Anthony believes effective public service requires listening to residents, doing the homework, asking tough questions, and working collaboratively to deliver results.
First elected representative in Irvine to have grown up in Irvine.
Graduate of Irvine's public schools.
