🇺🇸Nancy is running because Newport needs her involvement
I write to you today about my partner Nancy Scarbrough. I have known Nancy for nearly twenty years, and I believe her experience as a woman small business owner, mother, grandmother and community activist make her ideally suited to be elected to the Newport Beach City Council.
When she became involved in city business a few years back it was with the desire to learn, help, and get off the sidelines. Increasingly residents and local business owners sought her opinion on things related to Newport Beach, and more recently the relationship between the Newport-Mesa Unified School District and the City.
Several months ago, some involved community members came to our home to urge Nancy to run for City Council. This was born out of frustration with the Team Newport, now Team Will, voting block that continuously voted against the desires of the residents and in favor of their large campaign donors. Nancy was reluctant as her community involvement was not for political gain.
The Ensign tree mess was the final straw in her decision to run. When District 2 councilmember Avery and District 3 councilmember Duffield failed to show up or comment publicly about the debacle, Nancy was pushed over the line. Ensign straddles both districts. An involved councilmember would have been aware of what was unfolding. The residents and parents sure knew well in advance what was coming.
Nancy and I have attended many City committee and related meetings over the last few years. Joy Brenner, Diane Dixon and Jeff Herdman are the few councilmembers who attend committee meetings that they are not on. This is important as a councilmember is elected at large and should have a broad understanding of issues facing the entire city. Without direct involvement a councilmember relies on whatever information the committee members choose to report. My experience has shown me that direct involvement provides a more accurate representation of what occurred.
Nancy has been to these meetings and has more direct knowledge than the council majority on issues facing Newport residents and local businesses. I believe Nancy Scarbrough deserves your vote for City Council on November 3rd. Please help take back Newport for the locals.
Nancy Scarbrough is Involved, Informed and Independent.
