For Malibu’s Future

Like you, I care about Malibu’s future. People are Malibu’s most precious asset. During the recent rash of fires, Malibu citizens helped each other in a time of crisis. This is what makes Malibu great. I want to see our community remain a small, rustic, artistic town with caring people.

Thank you for your support and encouragement during my first four years in office. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve. After thoughtful discussions with my family and friends, I have decided to seek one more term.

I want civility and professionalism in local government and have worked hard to ensure that our government is responsive and respectful of all Malibu residents. If re-elected, I will continue to act independently, offer innovative solutions to complex problems, and do my best to make Malibu better for everyone.

During the last four years, by working together, we accomplished many things. WE:

Public Safety

  • Defeated two proposed LNG facilities.
  • Denied more overnight camping/campfires in Malibu.
  • Increased emergency supplies throughout the entire City of Malibu.

Open Space and the Environment
  • Purchased Legacy Park and raised money to purchase the park, not through taxes, but through generous donations and bonds.
  • Built a storm-water treatment facility at Cross Creek.
  • Reduced the availability of take-out styrofoam and made our beaches smoke-free.

Traffic and PCH Greening
  • Worked with Cal Trans to insure traffic lanes remained open during PCH construction.
  • Installed new lights at Zumirez.
  • Worked with the Malibu Green Machine to create plans to green our medians.

Arts, Culture, Education and Recreation
  • Purchased Bluff’s Park and increased recreational and educational programs and events for seniors, children and adults.
  • Discovered we were overpaying for Library services and completed a Library Needs Assessment.
  • Installed murals at Bluffs Park and Cross Creek.
  • Created Malibu’s original outdoor movie series at Bluff’s Park and Malipalooza to celebrate local artists and promote events for youth and the environment.

Fiscal Responsibility
  • Increased the City’s reserve accounts from $9 million in 2004 to $11 million.

We still have miles to go. We must improve emergency response and communications, implement strategies to reduce traffic, promote schools that are responsive to Malibu needs, protect our environment and preserve the Malibu “way of life”. With your vote, we can help keep Malibu moving forward for future generations.
