I am proud to endorse Maksim Egorov for Mayor of Irvine. Maksim understands that strong communities start with strong schools and that every child in Irvine’s diverse community deserves access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed. I believe he will be a strong advocate for Irvine’s families and future generations.
Former Colleague
I had the pleasure of working with Max on the same team. He was always helpful, approachable, and proactive in everything he did. He was an active team member who was always willing to support others and take on new challenges. I truly enjoyed working with him, and I’m confident that his leadership, dedication, and people-first approach will make him a great Mayor of Irvine.
Longtime Irvine Resident & Neighbor
Max is a tireless advocate for protecting Irvine’s open space, and he is doing a tremendous job serving on the Board of Directors of the Orangetree Homeowners Association. Max has my full support as an alternative to the longstanding leadership at City Hall. After years of overbuilding and overdevelopment, it is time for a new path forward for Irvine.
Community Volunteer & Retired Teacher
Having known and worked alongside Max for 10 years, I can attest to his honesty, fairness, and integrity. He is a family man, enjoys community involvement, and is one smart guy! Max has my vote!
Sports Community Leader & Long Time Irvine Resident
As a youth sports community leader, I whoheartedly endorse Max for Mayor of Irvine in 2026. It is time that our community leadership stands up in a stronger manner to support our open spaces, our recreational activities, and our youths in sport and activities. Max has shown a great concern for these issues and I am confident that he'll work for our community and not for for special interest.
Board Member of the Orangetree Patio Homes Association and Longtime Irvine Resident

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Max on official Board business as well as on more casual interests such as Community Gardens . He has been extremely caring, tenacious, and knowledgeable in everything he is involved in, and he shows up to support all of us. I am impressed and personally have a great deal of respect and confidence that our wonderful City needs a Mayor such as Max to protect us from the direction it is heading. In my opinion, we don’t need more poorly managed growth, more traffic, or more broken promises. I personally welcome you to join me in supporting Max for Mayor of Irvine”.
Consultant, Irvine Resident
My family and I love living in Irvine because of the safe neighborhoods, great parks, open spaces, and strong sense of community. Max Egorov is not a career politician. He is an active resident, parent, and neighbor who actually shows up, listens, and advocates for our city's future. I know he will bring practical, resident-first leadership to City Hall, and I am glad to support him for Mayor.
Former Chair of the Finance Commission, Planning Commission, and former President of the School Board
I am glad to support Max for Mayor.
