Why I Am Running for Huntington Beach City Council

By Jim Katapodis

Why Jim Katapodis is running for Huntington Beach City Council and what he will do when he is elected.

Public Safety is my number one goal. I want to keep Huntington Beach a safe place to live, work, and play. Without a strong public safety policy, the quality of life in Huntington Beach will diminish exponentially, resulting in a decline in property values. Tourists, one of our main sources of revenue, will go to some other destinations where they will feel safe and secure. Good citizens will move out to other cities where their families and properties will not be put at risk. I will work hard to make Huntington Beach the city with the best public safety record.

Progress is a must to sustain our community. But we must avoid the pitfalls of growing too fast. Controlled growth should occur with an eye on intelligent and effective use of open spaces. I will streamline business start-ups, both large and small, to revitalize our business community.

With your vote, we can make what's best for Huntington Beach happen. Elect Jim Katapodis, for City Council!
