Altadena Town Council election is around the corner – and some of our neighbors are running for seats to represent us. Voting in this election makes our voice stronger over local issues – and in our contested elections, picking the candidate that you believe will best represent your neighborhood, makes a big difference.

How do I get to know the candidate in my area?
On Thursday, June 1, we held the NBBA’s Candidate Forum at the Altadena Community Center (730 E. Altadena Drive.) Attended by candidates and several current ATC members, as well as a full house of Altadenans, we all got to know our candidates a little better. Most candidates filled out a questionnaire for NBBA that we reprinted here: ATC Candidate Survey 2017 final Read for more information on each candidate. OR watch the video (Thanks Eric Pierce) from the NBBA Candidate Forum – each candidate’s speech is linked to their CT page. http://altadenaelection.org/

- Encourage your neighbors to get out to vote. If you are voting, make a plan to take a few neighbors or family members with you.
- If you live in an area where no one is running, consider being the councilperson for your area. The ATC will need to appoint people to the empty posts, so talk to the council about your willingness to represent your community.
