His involvement as President of the Culver City Rotary club (as well as a marathon coach for Beit T’Shuvah (just to name a couple), displays his [...]
Dear Editor – Fracking Moratorium an Issue in Council Race
Did you know that PXP has now done over 150 frack jobs using a variety of differently named processes in the nearby oil field? Are you concerned about the escalating magnitude and intensity of the earthquakes we are experiencing? Wonder if these are fracking related? You or neighbors complain of heavy noxious odors in the early hours when there is a marine layer? Concerned? Want answers? Four [...]
Dear Editor – Re-Elect Cooper
I am writing to express my strong support for Mayor Jeff Cooper's re-election to the City Council. I have known Mayor Cooper since 2001 and he is a caring, deeply committed, and involved person, dedicated to making Culver City the best that it can be.

Dear Editor – CPK Gets Youth Vote
Above all other candidates, I chose to volunteer for Chris King’s campaign because I believe King has a strong desire to get the youth involved in Culver City’s government. Electing Mr. King to Culver City Council would allow him to assemble the school board and council collectively and encourage them to finally collaborate on issues. As is, the two entities rarely work together on issues [...]
Dear Editor – Clarke’s Valuable Experience

He worked at an important Director level for Mayor Villaraigosa’s Office of Grants, [...]

Dear Editor – Cooper and Clarke Respond
A common refrain anyone will hear coming from me is that I love living in Culver City because of the ability we have to actually speak with our community’s leaders. Over the 14 years I have lived here, there have been many occasions where I’ve felt the need to personally contact one or more of our city council members about an issue or an idea. Jeff Cooper & Jim Clarke are two council [...]
