Our community is a wonderful place to live, work and play. We are facing some serious issues in the upcoming few years that needs sound fiscal leadership.

My name is Dean Grose, a resident of District 1 since 1986. I truly care about our community, its economic future, sustainability. As a current city council member, it has been an incredible privilege to serve and help.

Together, we must maintain strong public safety; stable city management; continue our community pride; and a partnership with the Los Alamitos School District.

In the community, I chair the Regional Military Affairs Committee at the Joint Forces Training Base (since 2003); I am Secretary of our local Rotary Club; and a volunteer with the Orange County Medical Reserve Corp and with CERT. I’m a supporter and donor with many of our local non-profits, including Grateful Hearts, We Care, CASA, the Los Al Museum, St. Isidore Historical Plaza, and Precious Life Shelter.

As neighboring cities are expanding and creating projects that can impact our Quality of Life, it is important that we have informed Council Members. Together we must preserve the best for Los Alamitos. I respectfully and humbly ask for your vote Nov. 3rd. Thank you and God Bless.
