Our City needs an INDEPENDENT Council member
who always advocates for tenants and owners first and foremost.

I will improve our quality of life by:

  • Reducing crime through better police deployment and contingency planning for current and emerging threats.
  • Abating homelessness by partnering with other cities, county, the state, VA, private and nonprofit groups.
  • Protecting rent control.
  • Increasing affordable housing, converting vacant office and retail spaces to residential usage.
  • Improving resident services, overhauling City financial management to redistribute funds where they're most needed.
  • Stabilizing the City's financial future by aggressively reducing pension debt and by doing more with less.​
  • Building a sustainable and resilient city while preserving our water, traffic, and energy capacities.​
  • Increasing business development and job creation by assisting entrepreneurs with timely City approvals and partnerships.​

Hi Valued Voter:

As you may know I’ve been writing articles for SMart (Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow) along with Phil Brock for the last seven years. They have appeared in the SM Daily Press and the SM Mirror. At our last meeting, there was a request to have links to those article so you can see for yourself the kinds of issues our City faces and my responses to them. Needless to say, as the SM has evolved over the last 7 years, the articles follow that evolution — so the earlier articles will sound dated, because they were relevant and accurate at that time but may no longer be today. 
 
Nonetheless some problems have remained constant (even though the annual numbers may have migrated): homelessness, lack of affordable housing, traffic, pollution, overdevelopment etc. and are still all relevant to our voters today. 
 
As always, keep calling messaging and contacting more and more contacts. Keep sending voters to Mario4council.com, and as always, I appreciate everything you are doing for the campaign!
Mario has been involved in many preservation efforts, including the 11th Street Bungalow Historic district where a typical building is shown above.

"I know how to get things done in our City."

Time’s up!

A new council unencumbered by special interests, will make a better, more inclusive Santa Monica.

VOTE FOR MARIO!

Thank you

As SUPER as Mario is, he needs to be part of a like-minded majority on the City Council, so vote for his extended Slate family.
