Don Freitas, City Council Candidate, District 3
- Antioch is a growing, dynamic, and diverse community. With a population of more than 115,000 residents, we are the second-largest city in Contra Costa County. As such, Antioch faces many complex issues like that of most expanding urban communities.
- Many issues in Antioch are not being addressed and citizens are demanding positive change. Residents are tired of the chaos that’s occurred during the past several years.
- The chaos has divided us – not unified us. Residents are frustrated with: dangerous and illegal sideshows, violations of public meeting laws by our elected officials, increased homelessness, police misconduct, and a revolving door of city staff departures that have deteriorated public services to citizens.
Let's build a better future for Antioch
Dedicated Public Servant
As a lifelong resident of Antioch and public servant, I've dedicated myself to making this city a better place for people to work and live by:
Expanding Highway 4
Securing $1.2 billion to expand Highway 4 from four to eight lanes, improving the roads for commuters.
Building New Facilities
Like the Prewett Family Park and Community Center where families can gather to enjoy fun in the waterpark and residents can meet for events.
Increasing Police Funding
Increasing funding for the police to ensure safety and to serve a growing and diverse population.
Expanding Code Enforcement
Expanding code enforcement to protect public health, property values and the overall welfare of the city.
Turn the city around - be proud to call Antioch home!
Essential Services
My Top Priority: Provide essential services to residents. Protecting residents starts with a cultural change in our police department and filling patrol officer positions.
Hire an Experienced City Manager
Conduct a nationwide search and hire an experienced City Manager. The new City Council must hire an experienced manager who is responsible for selecting and managing a professional staff that consistently provides services citizens need. Lowering crime and homelessness, cleaning up graffiti and litter, and repairing streets should be the norm.
Fill Vacant Positions
Fill budgeted, vacant staff positions. Our tax dollars are being wasted and not being used efficiently.
Transparency
Insist on a completely transparent public accounting of funds. There are limited tax dollars. We must prioritize essential services to the community.
Financial Audit
Conduct a thorough financial audit. We need to conduct a complete financial audit to ensure that money is spent on essential services.
