Arianna Barrios is running for Mayor this November to put the City of Orange back on track!

 

Fueled by a powerful family legacy and a strong belief in giving back, Arianna Barrios is a homegrown leader committed to fighting for residents and bringing fairness, accountability, and transparency to City Hall. Born at St. Joseph Hospital and a graduate of Orange public schools (Cambridge/La Veta/Yorba/Orange), Arianna has spent her life living, working, and volunteering in her hometown. Today, Arianna lives and runs a small business in historic Old Towne Orange.

 

Barrios has served on several boards of directors, including the Orange Chamber of Commerce, YWCA of Central Orange County, Orange Educational Foundation, Pitcher Park Community Foundation, the Greater Orange Community Arts Theater, and Community Foundation of Orange, where she chaired the annual CFO Gala for seven years, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the greater Orange community and programs that served local veterans, at-risk youth, education programs, and more.

​

A tireless advocate for the power of education, Barrios formerly served as the elected representative for Trustee Area 7 of the Rancho Santiago Community College District, which operates Santiago Canyon College in Orange. Over the years, she has used her position to testify in Sacramento in support of Workforce Development programs and raise awareness for Small Business Development Centers. As a mentor to students and young professionals, her firm has hosted countless interns from local high schools and colleges throughout the county.

​

In 2020, Barrios won election to the City Council as Orange's first elected Latina and the very first representative of the newly formed District 1. She has used her term in office to champion Public Safety, Code Enforcement reform, protecting the City's historic core, promoting small businesses, and, most importantly, protecting Orange residents' quality of life.

 

Most weekends, she and her husband can be found volunteering at community events.
