Jason Roth for City Council

I received the following announcement from Jason Roth, campaigning for Menifee city council as a write-in candidate...

Dear Steve,

I have noticed that you have been posting information on your site in regards to City Council candidates. I would like to request an article be posted regarding my write-in candidacy.

My name is Jason Roth and I am a Write-In Candidate for the "Menifee Valley" City Council. My family and I have made the "Menifee Valley" our home for the last eight years. We are involved in many local activities including school functions, baseball, soccer, and church, among others. The reason I am running for a position on the City Council is to give back to a Community that has given me and my family so much after an accident left me paralyzed. I also want my children to be proud to say they are from "Menifee". I believe this is a Great Community and want to keep it that way.


I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics which has led me into a career as a Financial Analyst working exclusively for Government Agencies. On a daily basis I assist local cities and agencies with budgets, resolutions, and ordinances among other duties. I am familiar with California Law including Government Code and Streets and Highway Code among others. Additional responsibilities include making sure language in documents presented to City Councils and other departments within cities complies with the law. This experience translates directly to being a City Council member.

Because my family does live in this area and taxes are high enough, I am opposed to increased taxes. I believe we need to maintain the Senior Community, Rent Control, along with preserving the Rural Community. These have been staples of this area. We need to control the number of tract homes and the concentration of housing within those tracts. I am in favor of attracting new business to the community. This will provide us with increased tax revenue to provide the necessary services that are needed to be a City. And most importantly, I am in favor of a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE City Council. If our City Council is Responsible in how they spend the Communities money we will be able to provide a greater number of Benefits including possibly the most important, Increased Law Enforcement.
