THE RACE FOR HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL

Tariq Malik

A Huntington Beach native, J. Devin Dwyer is a product of the public

school system and has seen the population rise from 37,000 to 200,000

during his lifetime.

He has assisted election candidates in previous City Council races and

served as vice president for the Orange County Young Republicans.

As a small-business owner in the construction field, Dwyer has seen

how a successful plan can make a company thrive. He said the same theory

can be applied to city planning and encourage the city’s business

community to grow.

Dwyer said that with a comprehensive business plan, the city will be

able to address its deteriorating infrastructure and bolster its business

community. Dwyer said he also hopes to improve city parks and pride in

civic employees, while instilling conservative values on the City

Council.

J. DEVIN DWYER ON:

* REDEVELOPMENT

The focus in the coming years will be on the city as a whole, Dwyer

said.

“I am in favor of letting the individual property owner improve the

property Downtown,” he said.

* THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FACING THE CITY

Dwyer said continuing development should be a major issue for

Huntington Beach in the upcoming years.

“The burden on our city services has been grand, with the misuse of

public funds bringing our city infrastructure to the brink,” he said.

He added that the burden is merely a continuation of today’s problems.

The degradation of city services, the cost of maintaining them and

budgeting their repairs, as well as regaining the morale of the police

force need to be solved, Dwyer added.
