About Irvine Watchdog

Irvine Watchdog is an independent, completely resident-run volunteer organization with no political party affiliation and no financial ties to any developers.

We strive for transparency, honesty, and accountability within both our city and our group and hope to be a trusted, unbiased, and factual source of news for all concerned with the welfare of our city. We have volunteers from the entire political spectrum, old and new residents, homeowners and renters, retirees and young adults, and each of our perspectives is unique. Individually we may have differing points of view on issues, styles of writing, and passions. However, we are united about one thing: our local government should represents us and support the pillars of transparency, honesty, and accountability, that make for good government.

All are welcome. Join us!
