Ojai City Council Candidate - 2008

Candidate Statement

I am running for City Council because I care about the long-term well- being of this City. As a small business owner and an 18-year resident, I know that Ojai residents, both old and new, are committed to preserving our unique community.

My Priorities:

• Supporting a strong, vibrant local business community that supports both residents and visitors
• Ensuring a Healthy and Safe Community
• Preserving Ojai's unique character
• Building the skateboard park and identifying other opportunities for recreation valley-wide
• Supporting programs for our kids and our seniors
• Celebrating our amazing art and cultural resources
• Encouraging green building and wise resource management
• Fostering increased cooperation between the City and its residents

It's time for a change at City Hall. We need new ideas and new energy. We have an amazing natural environment, committed residents and an enviable small town character. Working together we can keep Ojai great. I will listen carefully to your concerns and will work to find solutions to our challenges. I appreciate your vote.
