As a U.S. citizen, Oxnard resident and merchant and president of the Downtown Oxnard Merchants Association, I feel the responsibility to call upon the community to exercise their right to vote. However, I would like to remind them to make sure that their choice is based on positive and accurate information, not on negative campaign comments and ads as expressed by Phil Molina and his camp.
Tom Holden’s performance as an elected official, since the beginning, has been of excellence. As mayor of Oxnard, he has been able to assemble the most effective team of staff members in many years, working diligently with proven, positive results. He is capable of guiding our city into a future of optimism and success.
Since his inaugural day as mayor of Oxnard, the city of Oxnard has been the recipient of new sewer lines, new paved roads and streets, more police personnel, a new parking structure, a new multiplex theater and plenty of new business in the heart of downtown. However, his concerns have expanded throughout the whole community — declaring war on graffiti and making our neighborhoods safer with additional patrolling, converting Oxnard into one the safest cities in the state of California. And yes, there is a lot more to be done.
I wish Molina could display a better code of campaign conduct and use his time to show us his agenda for the city of Oxnard if he was elected mayor.
