JOIN MARSHALL to put the city’s fiscal house in order, so that we can feel secure about San Diego’s financial strength and focus again on its bright future.

We have all witnessed the financial meltdown at City Hall. Our city’s challenges – the breakdown in financial controls, the loss of our credit worthiness, and a long history of sweeping financial problems under the rug rather than confronting them directly – are having a negative impact on families and our neighborhoods.

Next June, voters will have a chance to elect a new slate of City Council members – Council members who can bring a disciplined approach to the challenges facing our city.

Marshall is the only candidate for this office who has founded and operated a number of successful businesses, including the largest distributor of locking hardware in the United States, which has its headquarters here in San Diego. As a former specialist in municipal finance at Kidder Peabody on Wall Street, Marshall would be a valuable addition to a city council that currently needs more financial experience.

Marshall is dedicated to improving lives. He has significant experience in creating, leading, and participating in non-profit organizations. As a soccer coach in Carmel Valley and a little league volunteer, Marshall understands the heart of the community—its children. He and his wife founded Playground Partners, a non-profit that provides a safe, inclusive, and fun curriculum for lunch recess at public elementary schools in San Diego, enlisting 200 parent volunteers, and benefiting over 10,000 children weekly.

Marshall pledges to be a strong proponent of transparency in government activities and decisions and will insist that city agencies follow established procedures. Marshall supports many reforms made to date and is an advocate for further improvements that will provide efficient city services.

JOIN MARSHALL to restore accountability and transparency in city government.

JOIN MARSHALL so we can once again be proud to call San Diego America’s Finest City.
