CITYWIDE — With just one week left until the Nov. 7 election, many voters may still be on the fence as to whom they will support when it’s their turn to step into the ballot box.

Aside from the fact that there are 10 City Council candidates in the hunt — three incumbents and seven challengers — voters must weigh a multitude of critical and complex issues facing Santa Monica.

In an attempt to lend a helping hand, the Daily Press had each of the council hopefuls fill out a questionnaire, allowing them to show readers their individuality, personality and understanding of the issues. The wide-ranging questions focused on everything from homelessness and development, to musical preferences and comfort foods.

This is the first batch of five responders (see pages 10-11, 14), selected at random. A second set will be published in the Nov. 1 edition of the Daily Press.
