Candidate’s Personal Statement:

I see PVE struggling with issues that never had to be issues if it were not for present city council and planning commission. Issues:

  • Sale of Parkland
  • Malaga Cove Plaza commercialization study
  • Fiasco of Lunada Bay Boys
  • Proliferation of cell phone antennas
  • Lack of transparency.

A political journalist wrote: “It isn’t bad if people see a shift in decision making. It is not bad if the city is on his or her side for a change. In fact, it is unifying.”

I am a unifier and a citizen politician, and first and foremost a citizen of PVE.
