This year, eleven motivated candidates will introduce themselves. For the 100-words official candidate statements please click here.

The PPCC acts as the voice of the residents of Pacific Palisades to our neighboring communities, and to the elected officials and representatives at the city of LA, the County, and the State. The PPCC Area representatives take their own community's needs before the PPCC to gain support. They also take information back to their community on local and city-wide concerns, projects, laws, and regulations.
