Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Culver City

Scott Malsin is a visionary leader with proven experience on the Culver City Council. He has been a champion for public safety, recreational opportunities, intelligent planning and the environment; has earned a reputation for responsiveness to the needs of his constituents; has demonstrated a skillful dedication to the City's fiscal stewardship; and has been a powerful voice for Culver City in the region and beyond.

Elected to the City Council in 2006, Scott has made a difference in ways both big and small. From the newly-renovated Westfield Culver City to the Expo Line Aerial Station, Scott has helped to shape some of the greatest and most long-lasting advances in the City's built environment. From our community-building Park Enhancement Grant Program to our far-reaching "Green Building" regulations, Scott has helped make Culver City a more family-friendly and sustainable place. From bringing Culver City events like IndieCade - the Independent Video Game Festival - to promoting the arts, entertainment and dining throughout our community, Scott has helped put Culver City on the map.

Currently serving as the Chairperson of the Westside Cities Council of Governments, the coordinating agency which brings our community together with Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and the City and County of Los Angeles, Scott has been a strong voice promoting regional goals and cooperation. Along with representatives from the City and County of Los Angeles and the City of Santa Monica, he is a Director of the Exposition Construction Authority, which is building the first light rail line to serve the west side since the days of the Red Car.

Scott has always been focused on making a difference, and he is proud of the great strides Culver City has taken over the last four years. He looks forward to making the next four even better.

Scott was co-chair of Culver City's Fiesta La Ballona in 2003, helping to raise private funds to enhance this Culver City tradition and bring it up-to-date. He was active in the successful 2003 effort to keep Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital open, retaining a valuable healthcare resource for our region.
