Attached please find a Press Release regarding the appointment of Council Member Ashlee DePhillippo to District 5.

The Wildomar City Council (with Council Member Ashlee DePhillippo abstaining) voted at a Special City Council Meeting tonight to appoint Ashlee DePhillippo to District 5, due to the absence of other Nominees for that District.

DePhillippo was appointed to District 5 by Wildomar City Council in March 2022 when Council Member Marsha Swanson retired. DePhillippo had pulled papers and was qualified to run in the November 2022 election since District 5 was due for reelection but was unopposed when the Nomination Period closed on August 12, 2022.

DePhillippo is now appointed as though she had been elected.

“We will be happy to have Ashlee on our team for a full term,” said Mayor Ben J. Benoit. “Although, it is a shame more people don’t step forward to run for City Council when this level of government affects so much of our residents’ day-to-day life.”

District 1 (Ben J. Benoit) and District 3 (Joseph Morabito) are also up for reelection. There are two qualified Nominees for both Districts for November’s election.
