Meghan Sahli-Wells is the candidate of choice for me in Tuesday’s City Council election. What you see is what you get. No hidden agendas, just down to earth common sense that puts the resident first.
How often is this the case?
As someone who has walked the precincts with Meghan, I saw first hand how she interacts with residents, always asking what their concerns are, answering their questions intelligently, leaving them with a gut feeling that someone actually is listening to them.
Meghan stands firm. No wavering on issues of environment, city services, fiscal responsibility, healthy transportation, strong schools and smart development. I want to live in the Culver City that Meghan is working non-stop to achieve.
See you at the polls Tuesday.

Meghan Is Woven Into the Fabric of Culver City
From Jenni (Emiko) Kuida
I voted for Meghan Sahli-Wells in 2010 because of her amazing commitment to the environment. When she lost by just 32 votes, I realized that my one little vote could really make a difference. I decided if she ever ran again, I would support her campaign.
Since then, I have seen how strongly Meghan is woven into the fabric of Culver City. Whether she’s leading gardening workshops, advocating for healthy lunches in the schools, speaking at City Council, organizing community bike rides, parent volunteering at Linwood Howe School, I am impressed by her vision, creative leadership and commitment to bettering the community.
When I heard she was running for City Council again, I was thrilled and began volunteering with Meghan’s campaign. Last weekend, I joined Meghan walking door-to-door as she asked people about their concerns. We talked with one woman worried about traffic and parking on her street when Tilden Terrace is built. Meghan candidly shared her experiences with redevelopment in her own neighborhood, and how she pushed the city to adopt new guidelines to implement early neighborhood input for all development as a member of the Advisory Committee on Redevelopment.
Meghan is the only candidate who is endorsed by all five School Board members. As an El Marino parent who wholeheartedly supports the adjunct teaching assistants, that’s important to me.
For these reasons, I will be voting for Meghan for City Council on Tuesday. I know she will address community concerns, listen to our needs, and act from her head and heart. I hope you will vote for Meghan, too, because every vote counts.
