I was elected to the local Saugus Union School District board in 2018. It's been my honor and privilege the last 3.5 years to work alongside my fellow trustees to make my own kids' school district more FUN, productive, conscientious and safe. I now hope to bring this forward thinking, science based approach to our city council.
Let's put aside our partisan politics and do what is right for our community.
We all have a conscience.
We all feel compassion.
We're all rational.
We're all kind at heart. ❤
LET'S USE OUR HUMANITY TO
MAKE SANTA CLARITA THRIVE.
My wife and I have two wonderful children and an amazing 8 year old grandson, all of whom are almost 100% educated in the SCV. I've coached over 100 local kids in basketball, flag football and soccer through the city league and AYSO since 2005. Every team I coach, I take the kids on a day long field trip to my alma mater, UCLA (BA in Physics & Women's Studies), so they learn the importance of college early. I have been a Big Brother with Big Brother Big Sister for over 10 years. My Little Brother is an adult now and lives in Oxnard, CA, but we are still brothers. I was also elected and have sat on the Saugus Union School District Board of Trustees since 2018.
David Barlavi, Esq. is a tax, trust and estate planning attorney here in the SCV. David has had his home and law office here in Santa Clarita since 2004. We employ local residents, mostly from the College of the Canyons paralegal program. Visit us at www.TaxLyr.com

For whatever a fine city ours is, our current homogenous and single minded city council inevitably makes 2-3 terrible mistakes every year that hurt our city and tarnish the city's reputation and goodwill.
Some examples are:
👎Wasting $250,000+ of our city's budget in a failed effort to build 6 massive electronic billboards on the 5 and 14
For whatever a fine city ours is, our current homogenous and single minded city council inevitably makes 2-3 terrible mistakes every year that hurt our city and tarnish the city's reputation and goodwill.
Some examples are:
👎Wasting $250,000+ of our city's budget in a failed effort to build 6 massive electronic billboards on the 5 and 14 freeways.
👎Calling the armed national guard on peaceful local protesters based on a racist social media hoax.
👎Calling for a racist city vote to join the trump administration's failed lawsuit against California's Sanctuary Law which is designed to protect immigrants and save local law enforcement resources.
👎Staying recklessly silent in the fight to close the toxic Chiquita Canyon dump west of Valencia.
👎Coopting the Vigil originally organized by the Saugus High School students, relegating the students to a table in the back of the Vigil and censoring the students' intended message for the Vigil to fit the city council's limited viewpoints.
👎Participating in a private 4th of July "parade" caravan where the racist confederate flag was on display on one of the 8 cars.
👎Setting a horrible example for the community during a pandemic by not wearing masks (and not having plastic dividers) while talking, coughing and sneezing on the dais during city council meetings.
👎Needlessly joining the failed Right wing campaign to recall the duly elected District Attorney of Los Angeles.
Coach Dave will bring a much needed fresh, diverse, rational and modern perspective to the city council to help make Santa Clarita better, more friendly and less susceptible to embarrassing mistakes.
For the sake of our kids and grandkids, we need the whole community to be involved in our city's business. That's why Coach Dave will implement the "Adopt a Service" project. Every resident in the SCV will be able to go to the Adopt a Service website or office and get involved. Let's all contribute to the betterment of our city in our
For the sake of our kids and grandkids, we need the whole community to be involved in our city's business. That's why Coach Dave will implement the "Adopt a Service" project. Every resident in the SCV will be able to go to the Adopt a Service website or office and get involved. Let's all contribute to the betterment of our city in our own special way.
LET'S MAKE SANTA CLARITA FUN TOGETHER!
To accomplish our goals, we will need everyone's help.
FIRST 100 DAYS
• Bring Portos to SCV.
• Overturn the racist City Council vote against CA sanctuary.
• Apologize for the City Council calling the armed national guard on local BLM protesters.
• Expand city sports leagues for kids.
• Stop the massive developer driven building of expensive new homes in the SCV that don't help our young adults stay in town with affordable housing, hurt our water and environmental resources, increase traffic, and drive existing home prices down.
FIRST 4 YEAR TERM
• Open a VA Clinic in the SCV.
• Close the toxic Chiquita trash dump next to Valencia.
• Modernize and Beautify East SCV.
• Build a free medical clinic in the SCV, also offering secular reproductive healthcare services for women.
• Protect cigar and other freedoms in town.
• Help micro and small businesses thrive and create good paying jobs.
• Make SCV open and friendly to music and the arts.
• Build a local Tech School for electricians, plumbers, IT, etc. (free for low income youth).
• Appoint a commission to study our city contract with the LASD to make the SCV safer for all residents and law enforcement.
• Expand city supportive and recreational services for local adults with developmental disabilities.
• Adopt term limits for the City Council (3 terms max), campaign contribution limits ($20k), districts, and rank choice voting in Santa Clarita.
• Build Green, sustainable affordable housing for young adults and the elderly. This will allow our local kids who have grown up here to stay in town when they graduate, and it will allow seniors to sell their high mortgage homes for affordable and fun senior living while making room for young families to buy those seniors' homes and move to the SCV with their young kids.
• Make SCV the Greenest city in Los Angeles. A beacon to the rest of the country.
• Make sure every homeless person in the SCV has shelter and every hungry person has food. Then implement a long term plan to transition all of our homeless residents into good jobs and good housing.
More to come...
Everything in life should be FUN and enjoyable, including politics. This is especially true when it comes to the health and well-being of our kids, grandkids, and future generations. But in recent years, we've lost the "FUN" of America. Fortunately, we can get America's FUN back with a new attitude toward our neighbors, communities and
Everything in life should be FUN and enjoyable, including politics. This is especially true when it comes to the health and well-being of our kids, grandkids, and future generations. But in recent years, we've lost the "FUN" of America. Fortunately, we can get America's FUN back with a new attitude toward our neighbors, communities and public service.
Our kids need to know that whatever differences we adults may have with each other, we are still able to work together to improve their lives and futures. Our residents need to know that their jobs are safe, and that there is sufficient upward mobility in Santa Clarita to attract and keep the best of the best.

State Measure 31 - YES
Referendum On 2020 Law That Would Prohibit the Retail Sale of Certain Flavored Tobacco Products. [I wish they would exclude cigars from these kinds of laws, but alas, we have what we have.]
