This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate
DANIEL H. GRESSMANN
AGE: 45
OCCUPATION: Husband, Father, Realtor
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Getting things done is management. Knowing what needs to be done is
leadership. And that takes vision. My vision for Ward 7 is “Quality of Life,
Not Quantity of Life!” It is helpful to follow successful models to succeed. I
believe that following the models of the cities to our west may not be the
best idea. What about other cities? Are Santa Barbara and Montecito to
our north possible alternative models? Are they suffering from their
choices? Even the gentleman who wants to develop the La Sierra Land
Area lives in Santa Barbara, not Riverside. It would be a shame for Ward
7, with its particular charm, to become an overbuilt, nondescript,
suburban development.
Personally, I am relatively young with a wife and two elementary age
school children. I own a home and run a business in Ward 7. I believe I
may bring a different perspective for the future of Ward 7. Plus, I believe
that I as Councilperson, I am a servant of the people. All important issues
will be taken to the people. I do not like someone spending my money
without my having say in the matter. So, I leave it to you. Thank you.
