Recent events at City Hall have shaken public confidence. Arcadia deserves leaders who are accessible, accountable, and committed to protecting the quality of life that makes our city special.
I’m running for City Council District 2 to restore trust and deliver common-sense leadership that puts residents first.
My Priorities
Public Safety First
Government’s most important job is protecting its residents. As a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sergeant, I will:
- Support a strong Arcadia Police Department, Arcadia Fire Department, and all first responders
- Invest in crime prevention and community policing
- Improve emergency preparedness
- Address traffic safety in our neighborhoods
- Use proven strategies to keep Arcadia safe
Public safety decisions will be based on facts and community needs — never politics.
Restoring Trust, Transparency & Accountability
Residents deserve honest, open government. I will fight for:
- Greater transparency in city decisions
- Full access to public records
- Strong ethics standards
- Regular town halls and District 2 community meetings
- Clear communication with residents
City Hall works for the people — not the other way around.
Fiscal Responsibility
Arcadia families balance their budgets. City Hall must do the same. I will:
- Protect taxpayer dollars
- Prioritize essential services
- Practice responsible budgeting
- Carefully review all spending
Protecting Arcadia’s Quality of Life
I will work to:
- Keep our neighborhoods clean and safe
- Support local businesses
- Improve traffic and parking
- Preserve parks and recreation
- Encourage responsible development that respects our community character
Community Engagement
The best government listens. I will be accessible, responsive, and committed to hearing from the people of District 2.
Burton’s Pledge
“I have spent my life serving others — as a law enforcement leader, 8-year City Commissioner, community volunteer, and advocate for crime victims.
If elected, I will bring that same dedication to District 2 and all of Arcadia. I will lead with integrity, transparency, accountability, and respect. I will work every day to keep our neighborhoods safe, protect taxpayer dollars, restore trust in local government, and preserve the quality of life that makes Arcadia such a wonderful place to call home.
Together, we can build a stronger future for Arcadia.”
