I've been doing "Better Know a Candidate" blogs since 2014 and this year there will be a total of three blogs for District 4.
In August I reached out to all three candidates and I heard back from all three. In the end, two sat for the interview (Karen Ellison and Bridgette Moore) while one candidate declined, Veronica Langworthy.
I do have a copy of her ballot statement, so I'll post that here where a softball Q&A would have gone.
I have thoughts, but this blog will not have opinions, that'll be in the next blog that discusses the race in District 4. Look for that in a week or two.

Wildomar incorporated in 2008 to begin local control and to end the need to drive to Riverside County meetings to address city issues. Early local meetings were filled with people
sharing dreams of keeping Wildomar family-friendly, re-opening parks. and addressing issues such as land use, police, fire and public safety.
I got involved and was appointed Planning Commissioner, serving for eight years.
Road maintenance is an ongoing concern today. Both private and public roads are in similar disrepair. The road maintenance budget is stretched, yet money is allocated for councilmember's health insurance, retirement, and other benefits.
The use of a "consent calendar" allows the council to vote on multiple agenda items without discussion. On April 10, 2024 the council approved thirteen items in one vote including their opposition to "The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act." This act would have amended the California Constitution to define all state and local levies, charges, and fees as taxes.
All state tax increases passed by two-thirds legislative vote would have an additional requirement to be passed by a majority of California voters. This hasty process benefits Governor Newsom rather than the citizens of Wildomar.
Discussing, informing, representing citizens: Vote Veronica Langworthy

Below is the email exchange regarding the blog invitation extended to Veronica. I never got a follow-up after Labor Day.
