Positions in brief
Running with Kimberly White on a shared platform that emphasizes listening to residents before decisions are made, investing in quality-of-life priorities like parks and public safety, and fiscal responsibility.
Nowinski and White's shared platform calls for a city government that engages residents before decisions are made rather than after, prioritizes investments in parks, senior services, and public safety, works to revitalize commercial districts to attract new businesses, and practices fiscal responsibility by funding basic services before other spending. They point to the defeat of Measure C as evidence that El Cerrito residents want a city government that listens.
