Here are some endorsements from people who are familiar with my activism:

"I believe that Rex is dedicated to the issues he believes in. As a member of HUSH, I have seen Rex go the distance to aid our cause and to protect his city from enterprise that has no concern for the impacted residents. I for one believes Rex would do well fighting for the people."

Rick Cannata
Long Beach

"I have been amazed, for some time, at Rex Ricks vigilance and tenacity on the issue of the Long Beach Airport flight path. Every time I begin to get complacent with the aircraft noise, I get another e-mail from Rex identifying some event or action that can be done to express my dissatisfaction to the situation. I greatly appreciate his focus and look forward to his campaign for Huntington Beach City Council."

Jock Petersen
Huntington Beach

"My name is Rachel Perez-Hamilton, aunt of Beckie Olive, and a former resident of Huntington Beach. I have known REX RICKS for several years, he is honest, well informed on issues, intelligent and an articulate person. He is not your typical politician because he stands up for what is correct and the most advantages position to ALL citizens not just a chosen few!! I'm really impressed w/Rex's foresight (for a rather young person) for what is BEST for your city and our country. Thank you for voting for Rex Ricks for Huntington Beach City Council--he won't let you down!!"

Rachel Perez-Hamilton
Costa Mesa

To the voters of the City of Huntington Beach

"The people of the City of Huntington Beach would be well served by Rex Ricks as a member of their City Council.

In the ten year fight to preserve the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro as Orange County's much needed second commercial airport, I found Rex Ricks to be a disciplined, diligent, eloquent fighter for the public good who did his homework on the many issues in that losing struggle. He didn't give up."

Ret. USMC Colonel Norman G Ewers
Retired John Wayne Airport Employee
Irvine

Rex Ricks is an exceptional man with all the right qualities to be elected to the position of Huntington Beach City Council representative.  His analytical abilities and fiscal responsibility will help balance the budget.  His education and experience with environmental matters will make Huntington Beach a prosperous and vibrantly healthy community and preserve the coastal beauty and unique character of the city.

His activism on the local airport issue is a model for so many others to follow. His concern for all of the residents of Huntington Beach will assure that he maintains an open door policy and works to truly represent the local citizens. 

Sincerely,
Catherine Barrett-Fischer
Riverside, California
