Republicans on Track to Sweep Every Elected Position in Huntington Beach

Candidates endorsed by the local Republican Party are currently on track to claim every seat in Huntington Beach this election cycle, potentially ending a yearslong split between city council members over the direction of the city.

It completes a yearslong route of the Democrat majority that first came onto the dais in 2021, after council members appointed Councilwoman Rhonda Bolton to replace Tito Ortiz six months into his term.

But in 2022, a new council majority came on the scene when Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark and Councilmen Tony Strickland, Casey McKeon and Pat Burns all got elected after campaigning together with the support of the Republican Party, along with City Attorney Michael Gates.

As of the latest election tally Tuesday night, Bolton and Councilmembers Dan Kalmick and Natalie Moser are all on track to lose their reelection campaigns, with all three at least 3,000 votes behind their Republican challengers Chad Williams, Don Kennedy and Butch Twining.
