CHRISTOPHER OCHOA

Why do you want to run for office?

I see the corruption in our current city council. They are not listening to the residents of Westminster and leadership is below standard. I want to change this and be a mayor for the people and not pursue a personal agenda.

What are important issues and what would you do about them?

Unnecessary spending – I will create a realistic budget. I will identify wasteful spending and eliminate these expenses with little or no impact to the services we provide. I will work with city officials to create a realistic budget that still provides a high standard of city services.

Development- I will direct resources towards improving our blighted locations. I will minimize development that creates overpopulated neighborhoods.

General Plan/city revenue- I will work to make Westminster a business-friendly city. This means amending existing codes and ordinances to make it easier for business to thrive.
