Dear Neighbors — this week felt like Redondo in a nutshell: fix the railing, open the door to opportunities for teens, ask better questions about parking, and keep our waterfront plans honest. It’s not flashy, but it’s the stuff that makes daily life better. Let’s dive in. 💛 Be an active part of Redondo Beach….

Neighbors — thanks for a strong start to September. I believe progress here is built in small, steady steps: showing up for students, keeping our coastline clean, and spending our dollars with local businesses. This week we did all three. 💪 You asked to have my community meeting back on a Saturday morning at Alta…

Happy Labor Day––Appreciation for the everyday work that makes Redondo work—service, care, safety, and transit—seen and unseen.
