It has been an honor to run for a seat on the Lakeport City Council. During the short three-month campaign season, I have worked to introduce myself to as many voters as possible. I apologize for those I haven’t yet had a chance to meet.

As a lifelong resident of Lake County, a licensed real estate broker, and District 4’s Planning commissioner since September 2019, I am committed to building a thriving community. My husband and I are excited to raise our young son here, and we share the same hopes and dreams as many of you — to create a city where our children can thrive, have opportunities to find meaningful work and housing, and be able to raise their own families right here in Lake County.

I am a dynamic leader with fresh ideas and a proven track record of making meaningful change. Even small changes can have a significant impact.

I am an advocate for a thriving downtown. I bring creative ideas to add more housing options and encourage collaboration between government, businesses, nonprofits and community members of all ages to build a strong future. Let’s make our City Council meetings welcoming spaces where community members of all ages can freely share their ideas and talents, working together to build a better Lakeport.

I think we all see Main Street's promise as a vibrant, walkable hub where visitors, new residents, and locals are drawn by our thriving businesses with a dynamic mix of goods and services for all ages, our natural beauty, recreational opportunities, strong arts scene, and this community’s pride and can-do spirit. There are proven ways to slow down traffic, make streets safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, strollers, and wheelchairs, and attract more customers to our downtown businesses. It's time to start implementing them.

Christina Price lives in Lakeport, California.
