Dear Neighbors,

 

It has been an honor to serve as your Councilmember for the past three years. I’ve worked hard to protect Murrieta and deliver results for you:

• Balanced the budget, ensured a healthy and growing reserve fund

• Secured $900,000 for our new mobile command center for police and fire

• Provided $1 million in grants for local small businesses

• Secured $3 million in federal funding for the Keller Interchange Project

• Invested in park improvements, street maintenance, and code enforcement

• Ensured Murrieta remains one of the safest cities in California

 

I have always used a commonsense approach to tackle issues head on, ask insightful questions, renegotiate bad contracts, and hold City Hall accountable to all residents and businesses. As the owner of a successful local business, I know how to make government function more like a business.

 

If you re-elect me to the Murrieta City Council I will continue to:

• Advocate for fiscal responsibility

• Fight for Fire Station #6

• Ensure a safe community

• Mitigate traffic and congestion

• Support small businesses

• Fight for local control and oppose bad legislation out of Sacramento

• Provide transparent and accessible leadership

 

My leadership and proven record on the City Council has earned me endorsements from Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, District Attorney Mike Hestrin, the Murrieta Police Officers Association and the Murrieta Firefighters Association. My campaign is supported by veterans, business owners, first responders, healthcare professionals and community leaders because I always put the needs of Murrieta residents first.

 

I respectfully ask for your vote to continue serving you on the City Council.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Lisa DeForest
