October 17, 2005 Dear Friends and Neighbors, You may be aware that on January 24, 2006, there will be a Special Election for a new Burbank City Council member. On September 13th, I announced my intention to seek election to this vacant seat. Many of you know me from my involvement in Burbank. I have provided eye care for the good people of Burbank for more than two decades. Over the years people have talked with me about their concerns. I listened and became involved in neighborhood and small business issues. In 1992, I worked with residents and small businesses who joined together to stop the widening of Hollywood Way and the loss of on-street parking. Following this success, I served as chairman of the Magnolia Park Citizens Advisory Committee for three years. From 1995 to 1999 I served on Burbank’s Planning Board, including one year as chairman. During this time I served two years on the Administrative Services Committee of the League of California Cities. My strong ties with the community provide me with a solid understanding of the important issues facing us today. I have always done my homework, listened to the people, and have never been a "rubber stamp." I have spoken out for neighborhoods, small businesses, homeowner property rights, and fought against over development, airport expansion, and traffic. I am committed to Burbank’s family traditions and its people. My family lives and works here, and my son attends our public schools. As a successful small business owner I know what it takes to meet a payroll and the importance of being responsible and accountable to the public. Everyday Burbank voters tell me they want change and accountability from public officials. The status quo is just not good enough anymore. The people of this fine city now have a unique opportunity to move forward to a brighter, more hopeful future. You have an opportunity to elect new leadership to the City Council worthy of your trust. For these reasons and more, I now ask for your support and vote to bring a new voice to our City Council, a new voice of confidence, trust, and hope. Sincerely, David W. Gordon You are all invited to an Open House with refreshments and door prizes at my office as part of the annual "Magnolia Park Holiday in the Park" on Friday, November 18, 2005, between 5 and 9 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there. In the meantime please let me hear from you if you have any questions or concerns. Call me at (818) 842-2111. |
