Candidate's Statement

By Sherri M. Butterfield

made Mission Viejo the safest large city in California by putting more Orange County Sheriff's deputies on our streets;

maintained a balanced city budget while increasing our municipal reserves to nearly $19 million;

prevented Orange County Supervisors from converting MCAS El Toro into a commercial airport;

created the award-winning, family-friendly Florence Joyner Olympiad Park from 17 undeveloped acres;

significantly expanded the Mission Viejo Library to better serve our 92,000 children, students, business people, and senior who use it regularly;

transformed the aging Mission Viejo Mall into a retail showplace whose sales tax revenues support our municipal services;

protected Mission Viejo from escalating rent payments and proviced its residents with a true Civic Center by building a City Hall on time and within budget.

As a seven-year member of the Orange County Fire Authority Board of Directors, I have worked hard to make the third-largest fire department in California one of the best prepared and most responsive in the nation.

Over the next four years, I will work in partnership with you to enhance the quality of life we enjoy in Mission Viejo.

For proven leadership, vote for Sherri Butterfield!
