I want you to hear what I stand for directly from me, so I have been sending these to your home. Every one of them comes back to the same two things: protecting our community and preserving its character.
Here they are, front and back, just as they arrive in your mailbox.
Select any panel to read it full size.
The first one to reach you. I introduce myself — a husband, a father of two rambunctious boys, a technology executive, and your Planning Commissioner — and name the four things I will protect: our police, our Parklands, our property values, our PVE.
What I support and what I oppose, side by side, so there is no guessing where I stand. Keeping our PVE Police Department. Budgets that account for the real cost of pensions. And no forced densification of our neighborhoods.
This one reaches you as ballots go out. The four issues that will decide this race — our police, our pensions, neighborhood compatibility, and density — with my position on each, in my own words.
What is at stake, put plainly: keeping a police department that answers to our residents, and holding on to local control of development against mandates handed down from Sacramento.
The one I am proudest to send, because most of it is other people’s names — the Palos Verdes Police Officers’ Association, fifteen of our mayors past and present, and hundreds of neighbors willing to stand up and say so.
