City of Orange
Orange City Council, District 4
This person holds your district's seat on Orange's City Council. The council has six members, all elected by district. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. A citywide-elected mayor also serves on the council. An appointed city manager runs day-to-day operations. The term is four years.
Only one candidate qualified for City Council District 4. Denis Bilodeau holds the seat now. He runs unopposed for another term. This contest is already settled. Your vote here will not change the outcome.
This person holds District 4's seat on Orange's 6-member, district-elected City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use, alongside the citywide-elected mayor and an appointed city manager who runs day-to-day operations. The term is four years.
With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what the officeholder has done and what to watch next. An unopposed return means accountability for this seat over the next four years runs through public meetings and constituent contact rather than through the ballot.
Denis Bilodeau
Denis Bilodeau holds this seat now. His ballot title is "Orange City Councilmember, District 4." In 2026 he voted no on a council sales tax plan. He was one of two members who voted against it. No other details about his background or record were found.
