One of the issues that I have spent a lot of time thinking about and talking with people about during my campaign is the need to be strategic and intentional about the business development opportunities in our city. The reasons I believe this is important are two fold:There are several large and important properties on the verge of changing hands. These include the properties where the Mermaid and Scotty’s are located. Obviously, these are two properties right on the beach and they have the opportunity to be keystone businesses in our city. Developers are already approaching the current property owners and the city with their ideas for how the properties should be developed.
Many Hermosa residents received negative campaign literature this week. In ALL cases I found these tactics to be disappointing, immature and worse, potentially distracting to voters intent on focusing on the issues facing each of us day-in and day-out in Hermosa Beach. I’m proud that my campaign has not had any role in these attack pieces.
Agenda-driven literature only serves the motives of its author. We can prove these tactics to be ineffective and unwanted by:
I for one would welcome any caller who has a question or concern about me or my campaign.
Through Tuesday and beyond, I will continue a professional and forward-looking discussion about the issues (like long-term planning and a resident friendly downtown) that are important to me, my family and to the thousands of residents I’ve met throughout the past several months.
I am proud to share that the Daily Breeze has endorsed my candidacy for Hermosa Beach City Council. I am also pleased and honored to add their support to a distinguished list of nearly one hundred personal endorsements from Hermosa residents.
The editors attribute their endorsement to my ‘range of experience’ in dealing with development issues, like those on Hermosa’s horizon, as well my approach to managing the Pier Plaza and my leadership on regional matters impacting Hermosa.
