THE ORANGE COUNTY TRIBUNE is publishing candidate statements for non-partisan elections in Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Stanton and Westminster (Shutterstock).

My name is DeWayne Allen Normand and as a 47 year resident, former business owner and current Commissioner for our City I am asking for your vote to make our District Safe, Secure, Clean and Prosperous for the next 4 years.  As we all witness each and every day as we go outside, this District has been neglected by current leadership for far too long, Homeless, Trash, High Taxes, Rising utility fees from trash to water, Closed parks, blight, filth, and struggling Businesses have become the normal for us but I don’t accept this fate for our Residents and that is why I am running to be your Councilmember.   I will change the direction of our district and make sure the City staff and leaders listen to your concerns and address every issue from a hole in the wall that’s been there since February, to a 20% rate increase being assessed on all GSWC customers I will make sure your voices are heard and followed.  I am running as a Concerned Stanton Resident, not as a party affiliated member, I support you, the Stanton Residents and Businesses, that’s who I care about and I will work each and every day for this place we all love so much and care about.

DE WAYNE NORMAND

My Leadership will promote the following:

• Stanton Safe measures to address Homeless today and in the future

• Stanton Forward measures to bring about positive growth and prosperity for residents and businesses alike
