The campaign finance reform act is official and this is purely the result of your persistence. I honestly never imagined we would get here but you all proved that community pressure really does change things. Let us stay focused on ensuring these new rules are followed closely as we move …

Alhambra, like many local cities, suffers from the effects of overdevelopment, high-density spot developments like “The Villages” that lack careful and coordinated city planning and oversight, an absence of accountability for developers, and the corrupting influence of deep corporate pockets on our civic leaders. Therefore, we need City Councilmembers who will put people before profits and Alhambrans before corporations; who will have the guts to say NO to corporate greed and influence and to vote in favor of the collective appeals from the community instead.
If a resident:
- We the People of Alhambra pledge not to vote for candidates who refuse to take this pledge, and we will ensure they do not win by spreading the word, donating money to, and actively campaigning for, candidates that do.
If a current or prospective city councilmember
- I pledge to put the needs of the people and the environment over the wants and profits of corporations.
- I support the community-supported “Alhambra Election and Campaign Finance Reform Act” put forward by over 8,500 Alhambra registered voters throughout the City, which will level the playing field for grassroots candidates to run for election, whereas Councilmen Ross Maza, Jeff Maloney and David Mejia’s competing measure will not.

I lived in Echo Park and Venice Beach and saw how those cities were devoured by developers and are now over crowded and rents are unaffordable for the average person.
The developers are the only ones who benefit from these high density developments. For the rest of us they create more traffic, more pollution and less water which is a very limited resource.
I understand that Council Members Mejia, Maloney and Maza know what is best for all of us ignorant folk who only pay attention to yard signs and slick flyers in the mail. The tide began to swing in 2018 and the fact that we now have a more informed and empowered group of concerned citizens we can let them know their archaic thinking is detrimental to our quality of life here.
It is nigh time special interest groups keep out of Alhambra politics and stop funding to get "special favors" from certain council members who need to be for their constituency, not who will line the coffers!
I am fully in support of the grassroots efforts of Alhambra to ban major high-density development, especially during an emergency state with an epidemic ravaging high density cities.
Let’s keep the City of Alhambra from following in the footsteps of the City of Bell.
This is a slap to our right.

Let's focus on using the dozens of vacant retail spaces in the city. Let's focus on smart city planning, not wanton overdevelopment. Keep the Alhambra charm we all moved here for.
