When I look around Costa Mesa, I see so much to be proud of every day.

As a Costa Mesa Planning Commissioner and a small business owner, I understand the challenges we face in our city. That is why I was proud to have announced my candidacy for the Costa Mesa City Council.

It's time to work together to ensure a prosperous and safe future for our city. Illegal immigration, gangs, graffiti, and sex offenders pose a dangerous threat to our city. Burdensome taxes and the rising cost of living mean that now more than ever, the right vision needs to be articulated and fought for on the City Council.

Our volunteers are working across the city and we are running an aggressive local organizing program. The key to making our effort work is simple: you. We simply can't organize the whole city without the help of the dedicated activists, and your help -- no matter how much you have to give walking a precinct or making phone calls -- helping spread the word about this race is vital.

If you are not able to volunteer your time, I am counting on you to help me raise the resources to allow our campaign to project a confident message of strength. Your generous contribution of $5, $10 or $25 dollars would go a long way towards reaching our goal.

With your help, I can continue this fight to reform Costa Mesa and protect taxpayers. Thank you for your continued support and dedication. If you are interested in helping with the campaign, or have any questions, please contact my Campaign Manager Ethan at (949) 939-2447.

Thanks again for your support.

Sincerely,



Jim Righeimer
Costa Mesa Planning Commissioner
Candidate for Costa Mesa City Council
