Re “How a New Council Candidate Starts Life, Professionally”
[img]2333|right|Christopher King||no_popup[/img]Given the sunny way his professional life is developing – besides his brokerage business, he is heavily involved at City Hall in aiding the homeless – it was fortuitous for Christopher Patrick King when he left his native Salinas a dozen years ago to enroll at UCLA and have them help figure out his life.
Three years later, he settled permanently in Culver City.
At 31 years old, he is one of the youngest City Council candidates in Culver City’s history.
“It is important to get good people into elected office who are concerned, first and foremost, about doing right by their constituents,” Mr. King told the crowd at his inaugural event.
“Unfortunately locally, and especially nationally, we see a lot of cacophony and infighting. We need to break away from that. We truly need to start a grassroots movement where we need to put real quality, forward-thinking leaders into office.
“I think I am that type of person.”
Best argument for voting for a 31-year-old next April?
“I have a tremendous amount of energy and passion, and especially energy and passion for Culver City,” Mr. King said.
“My vision for Culver City is something I am calling Culver Vision 20/20, part of a plan I have to look at the city’s long-term planning and pulling community groups together to examine who we are and what we want to be in the next five, 10 and 20 years.”
