I am running for City Council today because for too long the answers from City Hall have been too small.
Homelessness. Crime. Overdevelopment. Issues like these threaten to forever change Huntington Beach. And they’re happening because the City hasn’t been getting the job done.
Huntington Beach is better than this. What we need are leaders who will actually find answers for Surf City.
If you agree, I hope you’ll join me.
– Tony

We need to finally fill the Navigation Center to its intended limits, find regional solutions for any further needed capacity, and allow HBPD to take back our parks, streets, and beaches.
Our Police and Fire Departments must always be fully funded, giving them all the tools they need to reduce response times and protect every Huntington Beach neighborhood.
To prevent LA-style mega apartment complexes from popping up all up and down Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach needs to set strict limits on the size of new high-density construction projects.
Huntington Beach must always have all the coastal protection equipment it needs to respond to environmental disasters like last years’ oil spill.
Congresswoman Michelle Steel and five former Huntington Beach Mayors support my campaign because they have already seen the kind of fiscally conservative leadership I’ve provided on the Finance Commission, standing up for Huntington Beach taxpayers.
Taxpayers were told that joining the OC Power Authority would bring choice. Instead it is bringing higher energy rates at a time of record inflation. HB should get out of OCPA.
