Why are you seeking elective office?

I had an 86 year old friend attacked walking down Charleville in the middle of the day. Enough is Enough!

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I’m not currently on Beverly Hills payroll like most of my opponents. If you want change, vote for Kevin Kugley!

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

Crime is at an all time high in Beverly Hills. It’s no where this bad in most cities in America nor even most cities in L.A. county. The current City Council is weak on crime and tough on small business.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

Support small business and listen to community needs continually, not just before elections.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

Having come from a family of law enforcement I know the tools the government needs to stop crime. As a 25 year veteran in finance I know where to effectively allocate resources to stop crime.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Keep reaching forward.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

I have been endorsed by Al’s News Stand, Malibu Clothes, and Beverly Hills Playhouse as well a many other small businesses and citizens.

Prior to earning my executive master of business administration from USC Marshall School of Business I completed the executive training program at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee.

Previous to launching my business I could be seen in episodes of “Desperate Housewives,” “Suburgatory” and “CSI.”
