Overview - Reason for Running

By Wendy Bucknum

Candidate for Council Member; City of Mission Viejo

This information is provided by the candidate
I'm running for Mission Viejo City Council to make Mission Viejo a better place to do business and protect the unique character that makes our city great.
I'm running for City Council to make Mission Viejo a better place to do business and protect the unique character that makes our city great. To this end, I'll work to eliminate unnecessary red tape and fees that only serve as hurdles to business expansion and curtail private property rights. We must also hold the line on wasteful spending in order to maintain our 50 percent budget surplus and AAA bond rating. Budget discipline will allow us to continue making wise investment choices that support economic growth and quality of life. This includes existing road and traffic improvements, expansion of the successful fee-based educational programs such as Kids Factory, and continued support for our award-winning arts and sports programs Another major issue in this campaign will be the preservation of Mission Viejo's business community and sparking economic development. This includes supporting the completion of the 241 Toll Road and supporting infrastructure and workforce housing to increase jobs. This is in line with the advocacy work I've been doing for the past two years as Governmental Affairs Committee Chair of the South Orange County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
