Carter for 2nd District Council Seat 2026

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

~Theodore Roosevelt~

Compton Needs YOU!!!🫵🏽 Vote Today!!

Many of us have become disillusioned by the numerous promises made by politicians during each election cycle. The fact that 90% of Compton residents do not participate in voting significantly impacts the level of neglect our city experiences across all sectors.

🗣This is precisely why one of my main objectives will be to seek out leaders within our 2nd district and to enhance block clubs. We will set the benchmark for holding our city leaders accountable in order to initiate the necessary changes in Compton.

🕵️ I am not a politician; I encourage you to examine all of our history and see that I have been actively advocating and providing resources to our residents for nearly 20 years. My record is founded on tangible actions rather than a collection of promises.

🤝I require your support; this initiative cannot succeed as a solo endeavor, regardless of what others may promise you:

It’s ok to give a list of what you’ll do if elected, but what were you doing in the community while you were concerned about these issues?

During the Budget workshop, Bower referenced alternative policing but was somewhat vague regarding any specifics. The Public Safety Commission to give a recommendation to the council was examining how other cities utilize Public Safety Officers to assist the Police by alleviating some of the non-emergency dispatch responsibilities. I believe we were planning a trip to Lancaster to observe their system.

Greetings, Compton 2nd District,

As you consider your electoral options, it is crucial to assess our leadership records. As a Compton resident, I share your frustration with navigating our city; encountering potholes, witnessing the unhoused struggling throughout our community, and observing s*x workers on the boulevard. These are indeed symptoms of a larger issue stemming from our council's lack of cohesive leadership and a failure to prioritize the needs of us, the residents.

As you review our records and assertions, please note that there is a significant distinction between highlighting endorsements from PACs that merely reflect what you claim as your record, and endorsements from organizations that have genuinely collaborated with you and can personally attest to their experiences working alongside you.
