Businessperson/Author Bachelor of Science Communication My family moved to Grover Beach in the 1990s. From 2004-2019 I was a planning commissioner, councilperson, and mayor. I am the mayor who got the streets fixed and got the Local Coastal Plan passed by the Coastal Commission, confirming sufficient water for growth, and preserving the 2004 Community Vision ocean view corridors. I brought the first successful beachfront restaurant. I support local business; the lifeblood of our community that provides jobs, funds residential street repairs, and delivers millions in sales tax income.
Grover Beach properties capture rainwater on site returning as much groundwater as removed. I have upheld the voices of 4,000 Grover Beach voters through GROVERH2O, the organization responsible for recent water rate refunds. I support socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable solutions to capture rain in times of plenty to cover times of drought. I brought the graywater ordinance to Grover Beach.
I back fiscal accountability and department audits every five years. I will ensure your tax dollars are used wisely in the public interest. I will honor the vision and voices of Grover Beach everywhere so our community is what we the people choose it to be.
Your voice matters. I’m listening.
https://www.MayorDebbie.com 805-550-4490 Debbie@MayorDebbie.com- I stand for fiscal accountability. My track record includes turning around our sewer district in 2013 and standing up to cannabis corruption. I stand for department audits every 5 years. I stand for clarity in budgets and clarity in response to budget questions and costs. I stand for the taxes you pay being used to serve the public interest, where executive salaries are commensurate with the size of our city.
- I stand for a city hall that preserves, promotes, and protects your vision, your views, your voice, and your vote. That's more than just pretty words. It is practical. It means a city hall that is open 5 days a week, that answers the phone when you call, that is available to serve you when you show up in person. It is city council meetings where your public comment is allowed at the beginning of the meeting.
- I stand for transparency, where your council and city hall err on the side of disclosure.
