A group of city employees have formed a committee to consider and act on local ballot measures and candidates. The Coalition of Santa Monica City Employees is comprised of more than 1,400 personnel in nine bargaining units.
The new Political Action Committee will provide a forum for the discussion of issues facing the city, particularly with regard to ensuring the continuation of quality city services, officials said. Candidates and ballot measure proponents will be invited to speak to the committee at meetings organized by the PAC.
The PAC will consider endorsements of candidates and ballot issues. It also may provide off-duty volunteers and donations.
Any candidates interested in receiving the PAC’s endorsement may contact the Coalition of Santa Monica City Employees PAC at P.O. Box 3007 Santa Monica, Calif., 90408-3007 or via e-mail:
