Chamber Political Action Committee Endorses Four City Council Candidates
By Robert Alviani PAC Chair
Bob Alviani, PAC Chair, announced Friday that the Ventura Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) has endorsed four candidates for Ventura City Council: incumbents Neal Andrews and Jim Monahan, and challengers Mike Tracy and Maureen O’Hara.
Mr. Alviani stated, “Eleven PAC trustees discussed all fourteen candidates that participated in our forum last week and we feel these individuals will best serve the businesses of this city. We chose two challengers that offer both fresh thinking, depth of intellect and proven leadership abilities.”
“The City Council race in the November election is a very critical one with four of the seven seats open in this election. With a total of 15 candidates, it is more challenging to the voters in making their selection. These endorsements will provide the PAC members and the entire Chamber membership guidance in a very crowded field of challengers.”
