In the article "As longtime leaders retire, crowded Scotts Valley City Council race focuses on housing, Town Center project" writer Christopher Neely highlights issues the candidates are commenting on and how each of them plans to address town issues. Neely highlights each candidate's experience and intentions for Scotts Valley in this article.
Some of our favorite quotes from the article include:
"A new generation has answered the call: Six newcomers to city politics are running to lead their mountain city through at least the next four years. So new, in fact, that plans for the Town Center, as well as Johnson’s city council tenure, predate two of the candidates: 24-year-olds Dustin Lopez, a UC Santa Cruz student and former Scotts Valley city intern, and Mercedes Molloy, already a nonprofit director and founder of a personal safety mobile app."
"Molloy has taken a different approach with her platform. She said topics such as housing and the Town Center would receive attention from other candidates; so, she shaped her stump around issues she felt wouldn’t get any attention: trauma-informed policing, climate resilience, and diversity, equity, and inclusion."
"Diversity, equity and inclusion is a lens through which she as a councilmember would make decisions, and she’d champion “anti-discrimination policies.”"
