RE-ELECT Kerry Schwartz
City Council – Place 2
Proven Leadership. Real Results.

Why Experience Matters:

I owned a governmental relations firm for over 25 years lobbying at the state and federal level. This experience taught me that to be effective, I must have the respect and the ability to work with my peers. I am just one vote on council and would not have accomplished much without the support from other council members.

When I first ran for city council, I had a bucket list of projects and made many promises. I accomplished everything and kept all promises. Not political speak - just results. I'll list many of my accomplishment over the next number of days.

To begin:
I introduced the ordinance banning radios on rental golf carts which were a huge nuisance to Island residents.

I pushed to begin the Laguna Blvd project much earlier than planned resulting in the project being completed a year ahead of schedule.

I completed many park projects including the skate park, basketball court, playgounds, and completed 4 new pickleball courts and adding 3 more.

Experience Matters - I get things done!
