SIMI VALLEY : Councilwoman Webb Will Seek Reelection

Reiterating her anti-crime, pro-business platform, Simi Valley Councilwoman Sandi Webb on Tuesday announced her plans to run for reelection in November.

If reelected, Webb, 46, said one of her main goals will be to shepherd a planned new police station through to completion without raising taxes.

“A very important goal for me for the last two years is to get the police station started and on-line,” Webb said. “I think it’s important that we do it without increasing the tax burden on residents.”

Webb is the only Libertarian to hold elected office in Ventura County. She is completing her first term on the council, a nonpartisan body.

A political unknown when she first decided to run for a council seat in 1990, Webb ran an aggressive campaign and ended up the top vote-getter in a field of nine candidates.

She spent more than $20,000 and was the first council candidate in city history to buy cable television ads.

The council seat held by Judy Mikels is also up for grabs in November. Mikels has given up a shot at reelection to run for county supervisor. She faces Moorpark Councilman Scott Montgomery in the November runoff.

Five other Simi Valley residents have announced plans to run for City Council in November.

They are Douglas K. Dubin, 27, a self-employed housewares distributor; Dean F. Kunicki, 49, an insurance consultant and Simi Valley planning commissioner; Michael S. Mc Caffrey, an insurance underwriter and former president of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce; Lindsey Paul Miller, 55, former Simi Valley police chief, and Joseph R. Vesalga, 39, a computer operator and neighborhood council director.
