\"\" The Pat Furey for Mayor lawn signs are now available! Torrance residents should be aware that in a few months the General Municipal Election during which we will elect a new mayor as Mayor Scotto will term out. As I announced back in June, I am supporting Torrance City Councilman Pat Furey in his bid to be elected Mayor of Torrance.

Of course, your results may vary, but why take a chance? You can request your lawn signs by calling 1-310-613-9099 or email info@councilmanpatfurey.com. Be sure to include how many signs you would like for you and your friends. You can increase the value of the entire neighborhood in one swoop.

Griffiths for City Council Campaign Kickoff

These photos were taken last week, February 3 at the Mike Griffiths for Torrance City Council 2014 campaign kickoff which was held at the RE/MAX room in Torrance. While this site is not really dedicated to politics, I have been trying to attend as many Torrance City Council meetings as possible so I know what is happening at the local level with our city\’s governing body. As a result, I have become acquainted with our mayor and most of the city council members.

The General Municipal Election for Torrance will be held in June of 2014. There will be several vacancies on the city council because Mayor Scotto will term out and one of the current council members will replace him. There are also a couple council members that will term out so this is a pretty important city election. Because I do attend council meetings on a pretty regular basis I see which candidates are regular attendees of the weekly city council meetings. To be honest, there are only two candidates that I ever see there and Mike Griffiths is one of them. He introduced himself to me at one of the first meetings I attended. While I am not going to make any official endorsements, I will go so far as to suggest that if someone wants to be on the Torrance City Council, they should probably consider reserving every Tuesday evening for the next four months to attend council meetings if for no other reason than to be seen.

The campaign kickoff fundraiser was a pretty well attended event that included food, beer, wine, speeches and magic performed by Magic Castle performer Steve Silverman. His sleight-of-hand magic was very entertaining. Everyone seemed to have a nice time. If you want to know more about Griffiths\’ position on issues and history with the City of Torrance please visit his website. Continue reading
