Questions & Answers as they appear in the Santa Monica Sun newspaper.Name: Chuck Allord Age: 38 Where born: Santa Monica Neighborhood: Neighbors for a Safer Santa Monica (Lincoln to 20th St. & Santa Monica Blvd. to Santa Monica Freeway) BACKGROUND:
I have been fighting for our community's rights for as long as I can remember. I am a native of this area and I've been helping people my whole life. I am running for City Council to change people's lives for the better - I want to reverse the trend in this city and put the needs of residents first. I have specific plans to improve traffic, parking and congestion; to eliminate the blight of vagrancy; for responsible development and to improve the city's schools. Anytime a council spends more per capita on vagrants than they do on their students, they have got it backwards. As a renter myself, I believe that while renter's rights are important, it cannot be the only issue the Council sees. This town has been run by groups of single issue, single minded people and now is time to end that ideological philosophy. I helped to expose Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush's wrongdoings. I look at myself as a consumer activist. I am one of the founding members of "Neighbors for a Safer Santa Monica" which has successfully lobbied the city on behalf of area residents. I am demanding a responsive and sensible Santa Monica City Government. I am proud of being the only true independent candidate out of this highly politicized campaign and I will stay with the ideal of fighting for, helping, and representing the community. Remember, this campaign is not about the status quo, but about the citizens of Santa Monica not letting the special interest groups dictate our lives and the development of our great city. It's time for change, it's time to regain the soul of this city, it's time to vote for Chuck Allord for Santa Monica City Council. |
