Candidates File for Council, School Races

Voters in the Las Virgenes area will have several candidates to choose from when they go to the polls Nov. 4 to elect city representatives in Agoura Hills and Westlake Village, as well as local school board members.

There is a mixed bag of incumbents and newcomers among the candidates who filed papers by the 5 p.m. Wednesday deadline.

Both incumbents on the Agoura Hills City Council have decided to run again, while two of three incumbents on the Westlake Village council are leaving the seats open to newcomers.

All three incumbents on the board of the Las Virgenes Unified School District, which also will have a bond measure on the November ballot, will run to keep their posts.

Those filing in Westlake Village were incumbent Kris Carraway-Bowman, a business executive; Iraj Broomand, a psychologist; Christopher Mann, a student and business owner, and Mark C. Rutherford, an attorney.

And throwing their hats into the ring for the Agoura Hills City Council are incumbents Ed Corridori, a business owner, and Denis Weber, a bank vice president, as well as Michael Forney, an assistant general manager of a shopping center; Jeff Reinhardt, a marketing executive, and Jerome S. Wolf, an accountant.

The candidates for seats on the Las Virgenes school board are incumbents Judy Jordan, Barbara Bowman-Fagelson and Charlotte Meyer, all from Calabasas, and challengers Shirley M. Bass, a psychotherapist; Bob Selvin, a teacher, and Rachel Shavick, a film producer.
