Candidate Statememt

By Robin Peace Marcario

I am a local girl running for city council to promote private property rights, open space, and safety.

I grew up here in Garden Grove and am proud to teach and send our two children to our public schools.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications and attend our City Council meetings where I express my concerns regarding over-development in Garden Grove and the need for parks and open space.

I am currently serving as Chair of the Traffic Commission and the Central Garden Grove Neighborhood Association (Cggna.org), where communication and public input are encouraged.

I value our neighborhood associations and volunteer groups.

I believe the voters should be given the choice whether fireworks should continue to be sold in our city or not. Put in on the ballot!

I will work to keep our balanced budget and maintain a pro-business environment in our city.

I support our fire and police departments in their continued efforts to recruit and retain the finest.

I consider the protection of our residential neighborhoods, public services (fire, police, schools), and infrastructure (streets, sewers) vital to the preservation of the quality of life in Garden Grove.

Remember Robin when you vote November 7, 2006.
