Patch Blog: Remember to Vote for CV Town Council

Hi! My name is . I live in the Pinecrest community of La Crescenta and I am .  

Last year, I was spurred to run for CV Town Council by the two years ago and the resulting flood preparations. We were evacuated a number of times. We didn’t know what was going on and it was very difficult to find out when we could return home. We were frightened and we felt helpless and victimized. The only information came from the news and out-of-area sheriff's deputies who didn’t know very much.

After attending most, if not all, of the town council’s meetings over the last year, I have gained a deep respect for the local citizens who serve on the council and give so much of their time. I think I can bring some expertise and experience to bear on the issues facing this community. That’s why I am seeking a seat on the CV Town Council.

If I am elected, I promise to do everything I can to improve communication between emergency services and the people who live here and are most affected, and, more importantly, insist that the views and preferences of our residents be considered seriously and acted upon. That goes for every issue, whether it’s the , the Foothill Community Standards District or open-spaces planning. I strongly believe that the views and needs of the people in the neighborhoods most impacted should be given first priority and deference.

When you and your neighbors vote on Saturday, Nov. 5, I hope you will support me and gain a committed voice for the entire community on the CV Town Council.
