LETTER TO VOTERS

By Jerry Duhovic

I believe we are in a critical time with respect to our city government. Setting the proper priorities and making sound financial decisions are vital to the future of RPV. Whoever is elected will play a critical role in shaping the political "philosophy" and direction of RPV for many years to come.

I'm running because I love this city, not only because I was raised in RPV but because this is where my wife and I decided we want to raise our family and grow old together. I, like you, care deeply about our city and am passionate about its future! My parents instilled in me the concept of public service - the practice of getting involved, proactively giving back to the community and being part of the solution. This ideal was further reinforced during my time at the United States Air Force Academy where one of our primary credos was "Service Before Self."

I believe that with my education, military training and background, 23 years of business experience in the financial sector and expertise in financial/regulatory matters, I offer an exceptional skill set, knowledge and point of view that will bring a unique and much needed perspective to City Hall.

I am neither a veteran politician nor am I beholden to any individual, organization or special interest group. With your support, I will be accountable only to you - the citizens of RPV. I pledge to bring civility to City Hall and when conducting the city's business, I will always speak the truth, I will listen to all viewpoints and treat every individual with respect and fairness.

There is much to be done. Together we can make Rancho Palos Verdes the best it can be! I respectfully ask for your vote on November 8th!
