InfoLarry Agran graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California at Berkeley in 1966, majoring in both History and Economics. In 1969, he graduated with honors from the Harvard Law School, where he specialized in public interest law.

Mr. Agran has served as Legal Counsel to California State Senate Committee on Health and Welfare. He has taught legislation and public policy at the UCLA School of Law and at UC Irvine's Graduate School of Management. Mr. Agran served on the Irvine City Council from 1978 to 1990, including six years as Mayor. Under his leadership, Irvine received national recognition for its pioneering programs in child care, affordable housing, recycling and open space preservation.

As a highly respected public interest attorney and public policy expert, Mr. Agran has founded and, in the 1990s, led a number of non-profit organizations: the Local Elected Officials Project; the Center for Innovative Diplomacy; and CityVote. As the founder and volunteer chair of Project '99, since 1994 Mr. Agran has been especially active in working to promote creation of an Orange County Great Park at the former Marine Corps Base at El Toro.

Mr. Agran re-entered the local political arena when, on November 3, 1998, he was elected to the Irvine City Council. On November 7, 2000 he was elected Mayor of Irvine with a record-high 35,000 votes, and on November 5, 2002 he was re-elected Mayor.

In December, 2002 Mayor Agran received the 100 Black Men of Orange County Annual Award for Economic Empowerment for his commitment to promoting diversity in Irvine through strategic public-private partnerships. The award recognizes Mayor Agran's role in supporting African American business and his dedication to the belief that all communities are enriched -- both economically and socially -- through the integration of people of all cultures and backgrounds.

Larry Agran resides in Irvine with his wife, Phyllis, who is a pediatrician. Larry and Phyllis have a son, Ken, who lives in West Irvine with his wife Leanne and their baby daughter, Morgan Elizabeth Agran.
