Jesse M. Martinez I consider myself a leader with a vision and the commitment to make things happen. I believe that if We all share the same vision and determination, We can achive all that We set our minds to. I see our city as a safe family oriented community, that can become a safer and even more family oriented place to live, work, etc. I believe that “A CLEAN COMMUNITY, IS A SAFE COMMUNITY”. I can envision an army of volunteers that will keep our neighborhoods clean. As the project manager in our last community clean up, I have shown the commitment to bring the community together. I look forward to serving our community in the future. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

Burt Sarjentt I would like to empower the neighborhood. There is a need to bring in more businesses into the area to create more wealth and prosperity for all. Jobs are needed in the area to enlarge the tax base and bring a better quality of life for all people. Better more people friendly bicycle and walking routes for all in the valley area would be nice. I would just like to help improve the status of life for all people.

Raymond X. Garcia After living in Mission Hills for 31 years, I feel it is time to participate in our community affairs. Taking and active part in making our government more responsive to local needs is one of my goals. Helping inform and unite our council should sway the powers to listen and respond to our needs and interests. My experience as a Workers Compensation Claims Person and Litigator should be an asset.

Otto Klinger The City of Mission Hills Neighborhood Council (MHNC) incorporates the north San Fernando Valley’s freeway triangle of the 405, the 5 and the 118 freeways. As such it is the prime site of “the future” of the S.F. Valley and the City of L.A. MH also is a major center itself, with the old SF Mission, the Grand Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, the Superb Armenian Center, with it’s nursing and residence homes, but also a major conference center; a school for social and industrial and other students, major medical center providers, among other critically important business, fire department and police services; and Alemany High School. MH opens to the north, via the 5 and the 14 freeways, the entre to all that is north (really great!) including not only the freeways, but to a potential rail system north, giving full access to all “points north”.

Debra Dalton As a Mission Hills resident for 11 years, our community has undergone numerous changes; some good, some not so good. The good was the opening of the Mission Hills Police Department. The not so good was seeing the closing of the Hallmark Store shortly after the relocation of Empire Hardware after serving the Mission Hills community for 55 years. Why? Well, to be honest, we haven’t received and honest answer. If elected, I will listen to my neighbors, and represent them, their best interests and fight for what is right. To improve the quality of life in Mission Hills will take team work and an open line of communication between council members, residents, & business owners.

Craig B. Forry I have operated my law firm at its present location on Sepulveda Boulevard since 2004 and I have seen the development and improvement of the Mission Area with the construction of the Mission Area police Station, and now the new Facey building. Because I concentrate on real estate law and I have been a licensed broker in California since 2004, I am aware of how important the role of a neighborhood council can be in helping make a community safe for residents and businesses. I am interested in the further development and improvement of this area not only because I conduct business here, but because both of my children have been students at Alemany High School. My daughter Savanna Forry graduated this year from Alemany, but my son Clayton Forry will be a sophomore in the fall and a student in the area for the next three years.
