I am running for FV City Council to offer the residents and businesses an alternative to lifelong politicians. I will honor and respect term limits.

I feel a government should be "of the people, by the people, and for the people". Elected officials should abide by the same rules and codes of conduct as their constituents.

I am fiscally conservative, and I do not feel City Council candidates should spend thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands of dollars, to get elected. I believe campaign spending limits ought to be established. I have not accepted a single dime in campaign contributions. I am not beholden to anyone, and that makes me free to conduct the business of the City of Fountain Valley, in a fair and unbiased manner.

This particular election is pivotal for Fountain Valley as a city. Pension reform, outsourcing of services, and the selection process for a new City Manager, will all be discussions within the next couple of years. I can help, but I need your vote.

As you drive around Fountain Valley, please note that I have NO political lawn signs. I believe our residents view them as "blight", and I respect your opinion.

I could not do this without the support of family, especially my wife of 20+ years, Bonnie Hersh Tucker. We have 2 children, and we believe strong family values are vital to the fabric of any community.

I believe in hard work, integrity-in every sense of the word, and personal responsibility pays dividends.

If this appeals to you, I ask you to vote for me on November 6th.
