The candidates for mayor are (in no particular order): Rick Avila, general contractor; Karmel Roe, real estate agent/mortgage broker; Rikke Van Johnson, incumbent Ward 6 Councilmember; Richard Castro, retired high school teacher; Matt Korner, business- man; Wendy McCammack, in- cumbent Ward 7 Councilmember; Henry Nickel, transportation; Concepcion Powell, Founder, President of the USHWGA-His- panic Women Grocers Associa- tion, write-in candidate, Chas Kelley, incumbent Ward 5 Coun- cilmember, Draymond Craw- ford, city of San Bernardino employee; Carey Davis, certified public accountant. Candidates for city attorney are incumbent, James Penman, and Tim Prince. While space does not allow for inclusion of full candidate state- ments, the following is a very brief summary of their publicly stated platforms, based on either written material they provided, publicly posted information on Facebook or websites and/or statements made during the forum. Johnson: “My vision for the city of San Bernardino is a safe and prosperous community which of- fers a wide range of housing, recreation, education cultural and employment opportunities…My goal is to create, grow and main- tain economic value in our city.” Roe: “As a lifetime resident, mother and business owner, I care about San Bernardino. I care about all of its people of all faiths and encourage all to pray in their own way but to commit to real prayer time if they want to see real change in our community…” Korner: “We have a chance in this election to change this city once and for all…let’s start today to fix the economy of the Inland Empire and so solve all the other big problems in Southern Califor- nia because only San Bernardino has the power to do so and only Matt Korner has the knowledge and creativity needed to meet this challenge.” Castro: “Let’s set our priorities and get back to what matters. Let’s realize our common destiny, and ensure our children’s future. We find ourselves at an impasse. We find ourselves burdened by unsa- vory prospects. Our collective conscious will shut the door to the past behind us. Our opportunity to grow is now.” Kelley: “It’s time for real leader- ship from the Mayor’s Office to rebuild San Bernardino’s economy and put an end to the politics at City Hall. As our new Mayor, I will immediately begin the process of putting together an Economic and Job Creation Strategic Plan to lay the foundation for San Bernardino’s future success.” Crawford: Some say we need to just move forward, but I differ and say we must be better…San Bernardino has all the tools to be a better city, but it must start with its leadership. I am asking those that are willing to join me and make the city of San Bernardino better. Powell: “My plan is to bring back fiscal stability that can sustain services that are essential for our people…I will work with private sector leaders and all government officials to bring every single penny needed to keep our city services viable for our children our seniors and all who need our city.” Carey: His vision is “to build a politically stable city council fo- cused and committed to motivate our community to continually work together to successfully im- plement the city’s plan…” and to “keep citizens informed and in- volved in building our city’s fu- ture.” During his remarks, incumbent City Attorney Jim Penman shared his history of community involve- ment including as resident director of the Home of Neighborly Serv- ice for 13 years and as a strong ad- vocate for the hiring of Latinos and African Americans in city government jobs, particularly po- lice and fire. He said that as city at- torney, his offices’ prosecutions are made based on evidence, not on the race or ethnicity of the per- son charge. Finally, Penman’s opponent Tim Prince, whose father also served as city attorney in the past, said that while he was not naïve to the pol- itics in the city, his campaign and his work as city attorney would be focused on living up to the role of city attorney, which is to provide legal counsel to the city, rather than on politics or policy. For more information on the each of the candidates, do a Google or Facebook search for their respec- tive public pages and websites. You may also contact the city clerk’s office for public contact in- formation for each of them. The city clerk’s number is (909) 384- 5102.
