Ashleigh Aitken

The 2022 Anaheim mayoral election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the next mayor of Anaheim, California. Municipal elections in California were officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.

One-term mayor Harry Sidhu, who was elected in 2018 with 32.5% of the vote, resigned in May 2022 amid corruption allegations and an investigation by the FBI regarding the sale of Angel Stadium.[1] The office of mayor has since remained vacant, with mayor pro tempore Trevor O'Neil serving in an acting capacity.[2]

Attorney Ashleigh Aitken won the election, becoming the first woman elected mayor of Anaheim.[3]
