At first glance, the quiet suburban town of Arcadia doesn’t strike you as particularly special. I mean, sure it’s home to the renowned Santa Anita Race Track and the Los Angeles County Arboretum, among other impressive attractions, but every city enjoys a few perks, right? But what truly sets
Arcadia apart from other cities is its unique culture, predicated on a strong emphasis on education, fiscal responsibility, and family values shared by an ethnically heterogeneous community. Lately, however, these foundational principles are being threatened by a troubling upsurge in local crime, an increasingly unbalanced budget, and rising tensions between the diverse groups that inhabit Arcadia. The slew of
daunting dilemmas that face the city of Arcadia reveals the paramount importance of its new City Council as an agent of change equipped to tackle the city’s menacing problems.
This is precisely why it is imperative that Paul Cheng is elected to office. He seeks to bring back the qualities that have made Arcadia such an extraordinary city, from financial prudence to civic engagement on the part of its everyday citizens. At 33 years old, Cheng would be the youngest council member in Arcadia’s history, bringing bold and fresh ideas to the table that could resolve the significant problems that confront the city. And although he is open-minded and promotes progress, Mr. Cheng seeks to preserve the city’s traditions of local security, financial prosperity, and educational excellence. He stands on the platform of safeguarding the principles that have made Arcadia the “best place to raise your kids†in the state of California.
His message has not fallen on deaf ears, as his unique qualifications have garnered endorsements from California Congresswomen Judy Chu, L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca, and L.A. Chinese Chamber of Commerce President Chester Chong, as well as countless Councilmembers and politicians from surrounding cities. His diverse legion of supporters testifies to the universal appeal of his principles and his ability to unify constituents. And as a revolutionary trailblazer, he is critical in lending the Asian American minority in California a powerful voice in politics.
Previously city prosecutor for the City of Hesperia, California and now a
private attorney, Mr. Cheng boasts unmatched experience in local issues and municipal affairs, from business operations to commercial realty transactions. As former Mediator with the Superior Court of California and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office, he is an expert in conflict resolution and problem-solving through negotiation
and discussion, making him the perfect candidate to fight for positive change in Arcadia as a City Council member. Equipped with his professional experience and skills, Paul Cheng will restore Arcadia to its former eminence and excellence. And although Arcadia is home to such a heterogeneous population, Paul Cheng’s willingness to fight for the common good ensures that he will courageously defend the interests of all its varied groups and unite its diverse citizens in seeking a brighter tomorrow for the city of Arcadia (IM).
