Ballot Statement

By Tony G. Tiscareno

Last year, I was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Antioch City Council. I've resided in Antioch for 44 years. My wife, Olivia, and I raised our children here. It is my great honor to represent you.

Antioch has many challenges to overcome to become the great city I know we can be. Getting a handle on crime being the most important: Hiring More Police: Fighting Gangs, Drugs and Illegal Weapons: Taking CRIME PREVENTION into Our Own Hands:

Antioch has many challenges to overcome to become the great city I know we can be. Getting a handle on crime being the most important:

Hiring More Police: We are aggressively recruiting EXPERIENCED police officers and training dozens more at the Police Academy. We are making progress, with the goal of getting 22 additional officers on the streets.

Fighting Gangs, Drugs and Illegal Weapons: While we're hiring more officers, Antioch Police and the FBI are working overtime to PROACTIVELY take down criminals BEFORE they engage in violent behavior against citizens. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS EFFORT.

Taking CRIME PREVENTION into Our Own Hands: I'm proud of our residents who participate in monthly Antioch Police neighborhood cleanups; get involved in Neighborhood Watch (we have 480 "Block Captains"); even our garbage collectors and postal workers now CALL IN SUSPICIOUS NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVITY.

Hiring more code enforcement officers to cite and fine negligent property owners, revitalizing RIVERTOWN, making City Hall more "business friendly", and attracting a great restaurant at Humphrey's + are also priorities.

Today requires a new kind of Councilmember + one who is accessible 24/7. Please call me anytime. As your representative, I will continue to work hard to improve this great city. I would be honored to earn your vote.
