Laguna Woods City Council
Who sits on the Laguna Woods city council, how long they've served, when each seat is next on the ballot — and how each member has actually voted, item by item, from the official record.
at-large · mayor: rotated-by-council · term limits: No term limits. Neither the official City Council page nor the Elections page states any term-limit rule, and sitting members have served well beyond two terms (Conners in her fifth term, Horne in her fourth), which is consistent with the absence of limits. · on the Nov 2026 ballot: Two at-large seats are up on the November 3, 2026 ballot: the seats currently held by Mayor Annie McCary and Councilmember Carol Moore, both first/last elected in 2022 with terms expiring in 2026. The other three seats (Lee, Conners, Horne) were filled in the November 2024 general election with terms ending 2028.
