LUKE COLETTI
FOR MAYOR
PACIFIC GROVE
EXPERIENCED • ENGAGED • EFFECTIVE
Candidate Statement
For more than a decade, I have advocated for Pacific Grove residents by working to make our local government more responsive, accountable, and transparent. Most recently, I authored the successful citizens’ referendum(opens in new tab) that gave voters the opportunity to decide whether the Mayor and Council should receive a pay raise.
I believe in serving the community, not myself. For example, I do not believe taxpayers should pay for my medical insurance. My opponent believes we should pay for his. See video:
I have authored over a dozen ordinances and policies covering government reform, the environment, land use, transparency, and fiscal responsibility (listed here(opens in new tab)).
I am running to be your Mayor because I want to preserve and protect the residential character of our community and the unique quality of life we share. I will represent the interests of residents, protect our natural environment, pursue affordable housing opportunities, promote youth recreation, and reestablish the Cultural Arts Commission
We must prioritize the upkeep of Pacific Grove, including our business districts and electrical infrastructure. That means better maintenance and landscaping, repairing city assets, improving access to public restrooms downtown and at Lovers Point, maintaining our roads and sidewalks, and promoting traffic safety through effective enforcement of speed limits.
I’d be honored by your vote.
