Online elections will be open from August 9 to August 30 

The Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) holds Area Representative elections for each of its 8 Areas and one At-Large Representative every two years.  This year, eleven motivated candidates will introduce themselves. For the 100-words official candidate statements please click here.  Please click on the candidates' names below for expanded personal statements.

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.
