David Constantine
La Mirada City Council

Leadership - Integrity - Service -Trust
The people have spoken - La Mirada needs new leadership. Join the movement to take back District 2 and put a leader who can roll up their sleeves and get the job done. It's time for a leader with integrity. It's time for a leader we can trust. It's time for David Constantine for La Mirada City Council.
Our Platform
Upon election, I will work with my fellow council members to continue making La Mirada a great place to live and do business. Through the process of partnership, participation, and collaboration I will work with our council to put our platform into action.
Public Safety
-
Invest in law enforcement to combat theft, illegal fireworks, and street racing.
-
Improve crosswalks and sidewalks so children can safely walk to/from school.
-
Add pedestrian stoplight at Rosecrans and La Fonda for children walking to/from La Pluma Elementary and La Mirada High School.
-
Add pedestrian stoplight at Santa Gertrudes and Ashgrove for children walking to/from Eastwood Elementary School.
-
Add pedestrian stoplight at Rosecrans and Stanton for children walking to/from Eastwood Elementary School.
-
Add pedestrian stoplight at Alondra and Dalmatian for children walking to/from Escalona Elementary School.
-
-
Support after-school and summer programs and activities for La Mirada’s youth and teens away from school and sports so they’re “too busy to get into trouble.”
Community
-
Establish a first-time homebuyer program for people who rent or work in La Mirada to attract more families instead of more investors.
-
Improve relations between city and school district to ensure La Mirada is a community where “Children Come First.”
Economic Development
-
Create innovative new programs to attract this new post-pandemic generation of high-tech remote workers/telecommuters.
-
Build upon the "Vacant Commercial Property Ordinance" to continue to hold commercial property owners accountable to clean-up ailing buildings and community nuisances (specifically the old “Sizzler” building at Adelfa and Rosecrans which has become a recent magnet for vandalism and those homeless who refuse help from LA County and state programs).
-
Ensure responsible economic development along the I-5 corridor and Beach Blvd. support our community and reflect "La Mirada values."
Fiscal Responsibility
-
Support fiscally sound and responsible spending without new taxes.
-
Ensure La Mirada maintains a balanced budget and elite standing as one of California’s most financially sound cities.
