The two-week voting period for the Pacific Palisades Community Council area and at-large representative election is now underway through Friday, August 30, at 8 p.m.
The electronic ballot is available on the PPCC website—which is “the only way to vote.” There is also a link to full candidates statements, provided by each person running.
Residents of Pacific Palisades may vote for the area representative in which their primary residence is located (a map is available at the PPCC website) and for the at-large candidate. Property owners and business operators may vote for the at-large representative. Voters must be 18 years old as of August 30, 2024.
Candidates are vying to represent Areas One to Eight of Pacific Palisades, as well as an at-large seat, for a two-year term.
Running uncontested are JoAnna Rodriguez (Area One), Steve Cron (Area Two), Karen Ridgley (Area Four), Kimberly Bloom (Area Five), Sharon Kilbride (Area Seven), Andrew Wolfberg (Area Eight) and Chris Spitz (at-large).
There are two contested seats: Area Three (with candidates Joe Layton and Julia Nilsen) and Area Six (Lorie Cudzil and David Schwarz).
All candidates—contested or not—participated in a Candidates Forum on Thursday evening, August 8, at Palisades Branch Library.
Election winners will be announced at the next PPCC meeting on Thursday, September 12.
