Meet Kevin Wheeler
ColoradoBoulevard.net presented four fundamental questions to each candidate in Pasadena.
Below are the responses from Kevin Wheeler, City Council candidate, District 4, on the environment, housing and homelessness, campaign finances and charter schools.
– Question #1:
What are your thoughts on climate change and how it affects the city?
Kevin Wheeler (City Council, Dist. 4):
It affects how much more building we can do because of the diminished water supply. All new construction must be tied to how we’re going to get more water.
– Question #2:
How do you intend to address the housing and homelessness crisis in the city?
Kevin Wheeler (City Council, Dist. 4):
For East Pasadena, I want to focus on first time, homeless seniors. While that will not solve the homeless problem, it is a fast (if not the fastest) growing segment of the homeless population. Housing for senior will get the least amount of push back in my district, and has the best chance to succeed. If programs are going to expand, early success is important.
– Question #3:
How do you intend to fund your campaign? And what is your strategy to win?
Kevin Wheeler (City Council, Dist. 4):
I am taking donations. I am responding to inquiries, meeting my neighbors. I’ll have a few signs up in yards soon, and might do a mailer or two.
– Question #4:
In your opinion, do you consider charter schools public schools?
Kevin Wheeler (City Council, Dist. 4):
No.
