Simi Valley is a vibrant, safe community!

Community safety, maintained and improved infrastructure, economic vitality, fiscal transparency—these are my commitments.

I strive for a community that provides a great environment for all; attainable housing, strong employment, award-winning schools, wholesome recreation, artistic opportunities, and so much more.

I am committed to preserving and improving this wonderful city that we call home.

Council Member Elaine Litster - 2019 to present

I’m WORKING FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

  • I am committed to maintaining Simi Valley as one of the safest communities in Southern California by ensuring our police force has the necessary training, resources, and tools. I championed the implementation of sophisticated body cameras, funded through the Forfeited Assets Fund, making our department a model for others.

    I also prioritize partnering with Simi Valley Unified School District and Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District to enhance the safety and excellence of our schools and parks.

  • As your Council Member, I've strongly advocated for upgrading our city's roads and bike paths. I am committed to reinforcing our electrical infrastructure to prevent disruptive power shutoffs, finding sustainable water sources, and upgrading our sewer system to address our city's pressing infrastructure needs.

  • I believe in fostering a welcoming environment for businesses in Simi Valley to create good-paying jobs and support economic growth. By working with developers to provide quality affordable housing for young people and families, we can address the housing crisis without compromising the needs of current residents.

  • As a Council Member, I prioritize maintaining a balanced budget and minimizing taxes while investing in critical infrastructure and ensuring fairness in service rates.

    I oppose risky investments like pension obligation bonds, advocating instead for responsible financial management to secure our city's future. I am committed to scrutinizing contracts and maximizing the city's financial resources, ensuring a prosperous and secure future for our community.
