Phoebe Lyons Thanks Manhattan Beach Voters; Vows To Stay Engaged

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA - Manhattan Beach City Council candidate Phoebe Lyons has penned a Letter to the Editor. Here it is:

Thank you, Manhattan Beach voters! We didn’t win, but we certainly finished strong.

When I entered the race for city council in August, few people knew my name and some dismissed me. Yet, thanks to a great team (headed by my campaign manager Madeline Taylor), clear ideas, and residents’ engagement we got more than 6,200 votes last week. Clearly our message resonated.

My campaign was about transparency, communication and, above all, listening to voices typically unheard by our city government. I plan to continue this effort of engagement, focusing on making decisions for our city backed by data and facts rather than emotion. My dedication to being a representative of the people of Manhattan Beach has not wavered. I will continue using my social media pages (@phoebeformb) to inform residents about local issues and encourage participation in council decision-making. The momentum and engagement that my campaign built will continue!

And to all those who reached out to me personally during my campaign, special thanks. Hearing from you was the best part of the campaign. Please continue to let me know your thoughts, desires, and concerns so we can make Manhattan Beach an even better place to live and grow.
