Determine your election priorities

Who should I vote for?

First, what are your goals? Are you angry about issues in the city? If so, then you might want to vote for a candidate angry about the same issues, and that will pursue them.

Are you happy with things the way they are? If so, then you might want to vote for those that will continue along the lines of what's been done.

Is your primary goal schools and parks? If so, then you might want to vote for people who you really feel will advance them.

But don't just look at their literature; instead, listen to them speak. Do they really know the facts? Hear their tone. Listen for their sincerity. Evaluate their way of doing things.

The Westlake Village City Council candidates all have personalities, and that may play an important role for you.

Residents of the city of Westlake Village are actually voting for three things: two city council positions, two board of education seats, and Measure E, the renewal of the $98 parcel tax that generates $2 million for the schools.
