About KathleenI am running for City Council because I love and value our community, and am committed to helping make it an even better place to live. As a community volunteer and City Commissioner, I’ve worked hard to protect our small town culture and resolve resident concerns. As the working parent of a young daughter, it is equally important to me that we continue to provide our children with the safety, security and strong sense of community that Manhattan Beach has always embodied. Finally, as a member of City Council, I will work with fellow Council members to address our city’s challenges, focusing on issues that matter most to our community.
