Dear Voters,

I am running for re-election to the Ventura City Council. My candidacy is based upon 50 years of community involvement and 32 years of experience in local government.

I love Ventura and I am proud of it. I have worked hard to make it a great place to work and live.

My record proves that I am not afraid to make hard decisions and to fight for the people of Ventura.

"Who I am and what I believe"

I am a Korean War veteran, a native Venturan, and a graduate of Ventura High School and Ventura College and a father of four all raised in Ventura. I am the former President of American Welding, a company founded by my father In 1928. As your Councilman and former Mayor, I have worked hard to assure Venturans that your quality of life is protected while providing for employment opportunities.

We must work to insure the success of local businesses while working hard to bring in new jobs and new businesses.

Protection of green belts, open spaces and farmland is crucial.

Our Comprehensive Plan must be followed as it includes the control and balance of future growth while protecting our natural beauty and limited resources.
