Candidate for
Member of the State Assembly; District 68

Deputy Sheriff Allan R. Mansoor was elected to the Costa Mesa City Council on November 5, 2002 and is currently serving his second term. He was appointed Mayor by the City Council on January 3, 2005 and his colleagues have twice reappointed him in recognition of his leadership on behalf of the people of Orange County.

As Mayor, his focus has been on getting back to the basics of good city government by focusing on fiscal responsibility, infrastructure repair and public safety. He supported a Residential Remodeling Incentive Program that eliminated fees and allowed citizens to bring their homes up to code without penalty, opposed eminent domain, and supported an overlay zone to encourage free market revitalization in needed areas.

In 1993, Allan was hired by the Orange County Sheriff's Department and was assigned to the Men's Central Jail. Other assignments have included John Wayne Airport, the Sex Offender Notification And Registration (SONAR) Division and patrol in Dana Point and North Operations (includes the unincorporated areas from Santa Ana Heights to Sunset Beach and the unincorporated parts of North Orange County). This experience has given him a good perspective on crime-related issues in and around Costa Mesa.

Allan moved to Costa Mesa in 1976 and has lived here most of his life. He attended junior high school at Christ Lutheran and graduated from Estancia High School, where he participated in wrestling and track and field. Allan worked at Orange Coast College as a Campus Safety Officer while studying there and later obtained an Associates Degree from Coastline Community College.

Allan is a resident of Costa Mesa and is currently a city council liaison to the following committees: Investment Oversight, Redevelopment & Residential Rehabilitation (3R), City/Special Districts, OCTA/Growth Management Area (GMA8) and Traffic Impact Fee Committee. Allan was elected to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors on November 9, 2006.

Allan R. Mansoor believes in lower taxes, balanced budgets and putting parents and families first.
