As a young candidate for Ventura City Council in l971, Ken Cozzens impressed me with his commitment and enthusiasm to public service and to the growth of the city. I was proud to serve as his campaign manager then, and now, a few years later, I am proud to endorse his candidacy for a seat on the Ventura City Council.
Ken still has that enthusiasm for the community, which is reflected in a distinguished career with the Sheriff's Department, hands-on volunteer service, business experience and a lifelong residency in Ventura.
Ken Cozzens will come to office with no axes to grind, with remarkable listening ability, with a great sense of humor and with total objectivity in a non-partisan office. His votes will reflect the views of all Venturans, especially with his knowledge of city issues and of the diverse neighborhoods that comprise the city.
As an avid fisherman, Ken Cozzens has a special love for the natural beauty of Ventura, along with the realization that Ventura has need of encouraging new environmentally friendly business.
With his talent, his integrity and his openness to a greater future for Ventura, Ken Cozzens will be a moving and unifying force on the Ventura City Council.
