Background
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) brought a suit against Anaheim in 2012 under the California Voting Rights Act, alleging that the city's at-large electoral process diluted Latino voting power. "Through its at-large electoral process," the ACLU said, "the city has made it nearly impossible for Latinos, who make up more than one third of the electorate, to be fairly represented on the city council."[3] The California Voting Rights Act prohibits at-large election systems that impair a protected class’s ability to elect candidates of their choice or influence election outcomes.[4]
As part of the settlement for the lawsuit, the Anaheim City Council put the choice between at-large and by-district city council elections to a public vote.[5] That ballot measure, Measure L, was paired with Measure M, a proposal to increase the size of the council from four members plus the mayor to six members plus the mayor, on the November 2014 ballot. Measure L had the official backing of Mayor Tom Tait and Councilman Jordan Brandman and faced official opposition from the One Anaheim campaign and former Mayor Curt Pringle, former Councilwoman Shirley McCracken, Anaheim Chamber of Commerce President Todd Ament, Anaheim Neighborhood Association Chairman Mitch Caldwell, and Anaheim Citizens Advisory Commissioner Gloria Ma'ae. Measure M was supported by Tait and opposed by Anaheim Home Owners Maintaining Our Environment board member Denis Fitzgerald.
Voters approved Measure L by a vote of 68.8 percent to 31.2 percent and Measure M by a vote of 54.2 percent to 45.8 percent. With the changes to the city council electoral process approved, Anaheim had to set the boundaries of the newly established city council districts. Protesters objected to a proposal to schedule the election for the proposed Latino majority district, District 3, for 2018 rather than 2016.[6] Shortly before the final city council vote on the map, officials discovered that the Latino population in District 3 had dropped below a majority, to 49.1 percent.[7] However, the finished version of the map won final city council approval in February 2016. The map, referred to by some community members as the "People's Map," kept the 49.1 percent Latino District 3 but slated its first election for 2016. Jose Moreno, the lead plaintiff in the ACLU case, defeated incumbent Councilman Brandman to claim the seat in that race.[8][9]
Issues
Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and the Anaheim Resort District
Anaheim's Resort District is home to Disneyland, the Anaheim Angels, and the Anaheim Convention Center, which helped attract more than 20 million visitors to the city in 2014 according to Visit Anaheim.[10][11] Two initiatives related to the district faced opposition from Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait: tax subsidies for luxury hotels in the city and a streetcar project that would connect Anaheim's central transportation hub to Resort District attractions.
Tait endorsed one slate of candidates in the 2016 city council election. SOAR PAC, the Disney-funded political action committee for the business and community coalition Support Our Anaheim Resort Area (SOAR PAC), backed another.[12][13] Two candidates endorsed by the SOAR PAC and two candidates endorsed by Tait won election to the council.

Hotel tax subsidies
The Anaheim City Council established the Hotel Incentive Plan by a vote of 3-2 in June 2015.[22][23] The program was created to encourage the development of luxury hotels in the city by offering tax subsidies to real estate developers. Under the plan, successful applicants would receive 70 percent of the transient occupancy tax (a tax levied on hotel stays) generated by the hotel for the first 20 years of operation. The city would collect the remaining 30 percent during that period and 100 percent after 20 years.[22]
In July 2016, the city council voted 3-1 to approve three applications to the program: one from Disney and two from the Hong Kong-based Wincome Group.[24]
Mayor Tom Tait opposed the Hotel Incentive Plan. He and Councilman James Vanderbilt voted against its approval in 2015. Tait stated, "Our tax money is to use for the neighborhoods, not to give back to the hotel developer. We have needs more than luxury hotels. It makes no sense."[22] He did not participate in the July 2016 vote due to a meeting with President Barack Obama but had publicly stated his opposition in advance.[24] In a July 10, 2016, op-ed, Tait argued that the program disproportionately benefited large developers and diverted funds from city services:[25]
| “ | ...Proponents of the luxury hotel program want Anaheim's residents to believe their policy of giving away general fund money works...We need to stop gifting tax dollars to luxury hotel developers...We should not tell our businesses that they are winners or losers; we should simply tell them they are welcome here.[26] | ” |

The group Support Our Anaheim Resort (SOAR), which endorsed other city council candidates in 2016, supported the Hotel Incentive Plan.[31] Candidates endorsed by SOAR PAC, including council members Jordan Brandman and Lucille Kring, voted in favor of the plan in 2015 and to approve the three hotel applications in 2016.[22][24]

Streetcar
In 2012, the Anaheim City Council started considering a streetcar project to connect its transportation hub, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, to Resort District attractions Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center.[34] Proponents of the project said the 3.2-mile streetcar route was a necessary step toward more efficient transit in the area. City engineer Rudy Amami told The Orange County Register, "When you look at the growth in the area, and the number of hotels being built here, this is something that is needed."[35] City Councilwoman Kris Murray added, "We have a vital transit corridor, and the streetcar will help alleviate congestion on our roads in Anaheim."[35]
Project critics, including Mayor Tait, disagreed. "Even if money were no object, I still wouldn't build it," Tait said, "Our transit money must relieve congestion and increase mobility, and this streetcar does neither. In fact, it makes both worse."[35] Irvine Councilman and Orange County Transportation Authority board member Jeffrey Lalloway said the streetcar was "a waste of taxpayer dollars that could be better spent in other ways to move people around the county."[35]
The streetcar project had a setback in late 2015, when an ad hoc committee of the Orange County Transportation Authority recommended against continuing to support it. The ad hoc committee—appointed by Lalloway and composed of four members, including Tait, Nelson, and Shaw—was made up of individuals who opposed the project.[36] The Transportation Authority's board of directors voted 9-6 to accept the committee's recommendation but delayed acting on it. Some of the Transportation Authority directors who voted against accepting the committee's recommendation felt they had not been given sufficient information to make an informed decision about the project.[36]
When the Transportation Authority board took up the committee's recommendation in June 2016, it voted unanimously to discontinue support for the streetcar.[37] Despite that decision and the city not securing federal funding, the city council voted in August 2016 to continue with the project.[38] Brandman, Kring, and Murray voted in favor of the project, while Tait and Vanderbilt voted against it.[38]
Eleven of the 2016 candidates for the Anaheim City Council participated in a candidate forum hosted by the Anaheim Republican Assembly on August 17, 2016: Sandra Angel, Denise Barnes, Mark Daniels, Freddy Fitzgerald Carvajal, Arturo Ferreras, Mark Lopez, Jose Moreno, Robert Nelson, Orlando Perez, Angel VanStark, and Robert Williams.[39] During the forum, 10 of the participants—all except Williams, who did not speak to the issue—expressed reservations about the streetcar project.[39] The participants included Republican, Democratic, and No Party Preference candidates.[39] Anaheim City Council races are officially nonpartisan, although most of the candidates are known to be affiliated with a party.
Short-term rentals
Anaheim city officials told the Los Angeles Times in July 2016 that they were receiving five to 10 new applications for short-term rental permits each week and estimated that there were 400 short-term rental homes citywide.[40]
Opponents of short-term rentals said that they affected the sense of community in residential neighborhoods and led to parking problems, increased noise, and litter.[40][41] Supporters said opponents exaggerated the problems associated with short-term rentals and that short-term rental owners revitalized neighborhoods by refurbishing previously ill-maintained homes.[41][42] They also stated that the city, which levied an annual $250 registration fee and a 15 percent room tax on short-term rentals, could benefit from the revenue they generated.[40]
Residents prompted the city council to hold a public meeting about short-term rentals on June 29, 2016.[40] Following resident testimony, the council voted to ban short-term rentals in Anaheim's residential neighborhoods.[43] Tait, Vanderbilt, and Brandman voted for the ban on new short-term rental permits and for an 18-month "phase out" of existing short-term rentals.[43] Murray and Kring voted against it.[43]
Short-term rental websites Airbnb and HomeAway subsequently sued the city, claiming the new short-term rental regulations violate the First Amendment and the Communications Decency Act.[44] The city also faced a lawsuit from short-term rental operators, including former city Councilwoman Gail Eastman.[42] The rental owners claimed that "[i]n its recent rush to appease the opponents to the innovation and change of [short-term rentals], the city bypassed, discarded, or simply ignored the procedural and substantive laws designed to protect the rights of [short-term rental] permit holders."[42]
At the Anaheim Republican Assembly candidate forum in August 2016, the 11 participating candidates said that they opposed allowing short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods.[39]

Homelessness
The number of people left homeless for at least one night in Orange County increased from an estimated 12,707 in 2013 to approximately 15,291 in 2015.[49] The Orange County Register attributed much of the increase to rising housing prices and Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure.[49]
In November 2015, the Orange County Board of Supervisors purchased an industrial building in Anaheim to serve as the county's first year-round homeless shelter.[50] Some of the 2016 candidates for the Anaheim City Council proposed other solutions to the city's homelessness problem, and many included addressing homelessness in their campaign platforms.
