Ask LarryAnswer #18Answered September 1, 2026

Your signs are appearing on the lawns of neighbors who support Trump. Are your politics in line with his?

Larry says

My priorities are strictly focused on Ojai. By California law, city council elections are strictly nonpartisan because the challenges we face at the local level aren’t partisan issues. I only care that residents are committed to preserving and protecting our town in the face of all the issues that threaten to change it.

Going door-to-door, we talk about our fiscal viability, balancing tourism with the needs of actual residents, and aggressive fire safety so our town doesn’t turn to ashes. We also discuss infrastructure, youth activities, traffic, development of all kinds, and housing for our children.

I welcome the involvement of any Ojai resident, regardless of their national party affiliation, who is willing to make the future of our town their top priority.
