With gratitude toward all the community members who contribute ideas and effort for making Santa Monica a better city, I'm running for re-election on my record of responsiveness to residents.
With gratitude toward all the community members who contribute ideas and effort for making Santa Monica a better city, I'm running for re-election on my record of responsiveness to residents.

You've supported and inspired me to continue protecting our neighborhoods and quality of life, as City Council's leading voice for preserving Santa Monica's charm and character, limiting building heights, and reducing commercial development that creates more traffic.

I support extending tenant protections to ALL renters. My commitment to excellent public education is unmatched: I work for our local schools. I'll continue my activism for a truly sustainable city.

I heard your concerns on public safety, leading the restoration of local fire dispatch for faster responses. I've consistently supported you on major issues -- Santa Monica Airport and the imposition of a regional rail maintenance yard on our Pico neighborhood -- and on localized issues like leafblowers and sports bars.

I've championed services to youth, seniors, and the disadvantaged, including compassionate homelessness programs that lowered the number of people suffering on our streets by 19%, the second consecutive annual reduction.

My full record is open to your examination at http://www.mckeown.net.

I'm YOUR Councilmember. I don't take corporate donations; never have. I thank you for your vote.
