Leadership Matters! I'm Phil Brock, and I have been a servant leader in Santa Monica for decades. I have coached Pony League, Biddy Basketball, and Flag Football with our kids at almost every school in Santa Monica. Beyond that, I grew up, worked and raised money at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica. I was a teacher, and I volunteer as a leader for Kiwanis, Lions, Elks, and the Salvation Army. I served as a Santa Monica Recreation & Parks Commissioner, Arts Commissioner, Civic Working Group member, city council member, and Mayor of Santa Monica. All in all, I've dedicated almost three decades to helping neighbors in our city by the sea.I've been strident about alleviating our severe homelessness emergency, ensuring our city is safe by adding the appropriate number of police, reducing fees, adding no new taxes, and rejuvenating our downtown business district. I am dedicated to historic preservation and curbing the rampant overdevelopment gripping our city. From the coral trees on San Vicente to preserving our arts and cultural mainstays, I believe in a Santa Monica that moves responsibly into the future as an extraordinary beachside city, the lungs of our region. I led the fight to landmark 19 garden-and-courtyard apartment buildings on San Vicente, saving hundreds of rent-controlled units. I led a twenty-year effort to create Bel Mar Park in the Civic Center, creating park space instead of a high-rise hotel. I've been a small businessperson for most of my life; my company is now in its 30th year and is headquartered in Santa Monica. I'm actively looking for fresh ideas to improve our hometown, and I’ll always listen to your voice. Don’t hesitate to talk with me whenever, at your street corner, in your backyard, on a walk, or on Zoom! I’m all ears for Santa Monicans
