Letter To The Editor: What I Learned Running For City Council

To the editor:

As a candidate for city council in Agoura Hills, I was filled with hope and determination as I set out on my campaign journey. While I knew that I would be facing some formidable opponents, I also knew that my passion for this community and my vision for its future would be my greatest assets.

As I traveled throughout Agoura Hills, meeting and speaking with my fellow residents, I was struck by the incredible sense of community and the deep connection that so many people had to this place. It was this sense of connection that fueled my desire to win and to serve as a representative on the city council.

Although I was not ultimately elected, I remain deeply grateful to all those who supported me along the way. Your votes, donations, yard signs, endorsements, and all the other forms of private and public support were truly meaningful to me.

I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Deborah, Jeremy, and Chris, who were elected to the city council, as well as to Jan, who was also a fellow candidate. While I may not have won this time, I will continue to work tirelessly to keep Agoura Hills safe, clean, and prosperous in every way that I can.

— David Levine Bramante
