Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Long Beach; District 3

I am Stephen Bello, your Council Member Candidate for the Third District. Running for 3rd District city council is nothing more than an extension of my ongoing community service, and my obligation to give back to my community. Serving as Councilperson would be a natural next step. I have no aspirations for higher office (outside of Long Beach), I have a great love for our city, and a deep connection to our 3rd district. I have lived and worked in our area for over 2 decades as a Commercial Real Estate Broker, always having a primary business focus on our great city. Having extensive experience with budgets, contracts, and understanding the connection between the community and business. Personally, I am fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and have a great focus and love for all people in our community. I have no aspirations for higher office, and the community agenda will be my only agenda. I believe in "People Before Politics", and I will bring to the table honesty, transparency, and common sense. I have plans that will bring our district and our city to a new level of accountability by aligning the 3rd District so that all Districts in our city will work in parallel with one another to make Long Beach the best city that it can be.
