Election
BY PARKS KUGLE
KEY: *Incumbent
Hollywood Park City Council, Place 1
Why are you running for office, and what is the one central issue you wish to address? I am presently serving the unexpired term of the individual that is now Mayor—Chester Drash—since May 2024. I applied for the vacancy because I had concerns regarding the maintenance and repair of our streets and town facilities. Previously, I had been in contact with City Council members to express my concerns…
How can Hollywood Park city government best serve the community? By continuing to provide first rate police and fire protection, by keeping streets and town facilities well-maintained and repaired, keeping government efficient and customer-oriented, and at the same time, keeping our tax rate as low as possible.

The driving force for me to run for City Council is to expand my current level of service to our community, which has been such a welcoming place for my family since moving here. My driving goal is ensuring that Hollywood Park is a welcoming place for families.
Hollywood Park has a growing population of school- age families. The city government should endeavor to support programs that will retain and attract this population for the well-being of our town. This calls for us to develop and implement projects that improve parks and public facilities.
