I believe in the importance of giving back and I have been active in community organizations for most of my adult life. I am a small business owner who can bring years of experience as a business person to the business side of running a city. I have been actively involved in redevelopment issues and am dedicated to helping Grover Beach continue to redevelop, which is a major contributor to the city's fiscal stability. I'm particularly excited about Grover Beach's potential for development of our beachfront, downtown and industrial areas. Redevelopment is the foundation of the generation of funds that will allow us to continue to enjoy and improve the quality of life that is Grover Beach.

My energy and enthusiasm enable me to balance my work, community service and home life. I take a thoughtful reasoned approach to decision making and have proven on the Planning Commission that my real estate career has not affected my ability to make impartial decisions the best interests of Grover Beach. My son and I have enjoyed living in Grover beach for 10 years. I chose to live here because it is a great place to raise a child. I was attracted by the small town atmosphere and the opportunities here to contribute to our community, to make a difference. I want to continue to make a difference. That's why I am asking for your vote for Debbie Peterson for Grover Beach City Council. Thank you! Debbie@DebbiePeterson.com

As your council representative, I will work diligently to:

  • Support existing businesses in our community and encourage new business.
  • Preserve our friendly small town atmosphere.
  • Improve infrastructure, especially streets, downtown and beach front.
  • Create head of household jobs.
  • Provide affordable and senior housing.
