Kraut, Weintraub for city council


As a long-time active resident of Calabasas, I am pleased to support Peter Kraut and Alicia Weintraub in the upcoming City Council election.

I was a co-founder of the Calabasas Park Homeowners Association 46 years ago, a founding member of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars and a long-time member of the Calabasas Country Club. Our children attended the local schools, and my wife and I were active local high school band parents. I love Calabasas, and want to continue to make sure that future development does not destroy the beauty of the area.

Peter Kraut is a staunch protector of the environment as is shown by his voting record on the planning commission. He wants to stop overdevelopment and preserve the natural environment we all cherish. Peter is in favor of not building more developments in very high-fire severity zones like Calabasas.

Peter Kraut listens to all sides of an issue so that he can make an informed decision. He is thorough and analytical in approaching problems and finding solutions. This is exactly the kind of leadership we need in Calabasas.

Alicia Weintraub has worked nonstop to during her first term on the council to make Calabasas an even better place to live. She has strong communication skills and is always willing to listen to residents’ concerns. Her weekly newsletters as mayor have kept us informed and up-to-date.

As the city continues to work through pandemic-related fiscal issues, Alicia’s level-headed approach will be a big plus. She has shown that she can bring together all interested parties to work toward a common goal. This will prove to be very valuable as we move forward.

Please join me in voting for Peter Kraut and Alicia Weintraub for Calabasas City Council.
