Jim Light

Current Redondo Beach Mayor

“My vote for District 1 Council is going to Rolf Strutzenberg. Rolf has been dedicated to improving our community for years. He is a leader with integrity who will put in the time and look into the details to understand and represent the best interests of the residents on decisions so critical to our quality of life.”

Joe Dawidziak,

Redondo Beach City Councilmember (fmr), District 1

“Rolf and I worked together on behalf of the citizens of Redondo Beach for over two years while both serving on the City’s Charter Review Committee. As such, I got to observe and interact with him on matters of municipal concern. Because of that experience, I have formed opinions about him: his solid character; his concern for our community; but most importantly his strong integrity. Rolf possesses, what I believe are necessary, qualities that Public Representatives should have. From my observations, I have formed the opinion that: Rolf remains civil in confrontation; values community norms; is involved and most importantly informed. I believe that the most functional government is local, Rolf is fully engaged locally and expresses a critical desire to do good for our community..”

Nils Nehrenheim,

Current Redondo Beach City Council Member, District 1

Rolf is an active and dedicated member of the community, always looking at things from all angles so that the best possible decisions can be made. He would bring a much needed fresh and balanced perspective to the City Council of Redondo Beach so that it does not become stagnant and complacent. He has what it takes to work to create the best future for our local community and assure the success of District 1 for years to come. I have no doubt he will attack difficult issues head on to provide the best outcomes and future for all of us.

Eugene Solomon,

Current Redondo Beach City Treasurer

Rolf Strutzenberg is my choice for City Council District 1.
Serving with Rolf ,while he was Chairman of our City Charter Review Committee, I found him to be a detailed oriented and analytical advocate for the residents of Redondo. I look forward to having his learned input and creativity in reviewing City Revenue and budget proposals.

Rolf’s Priorities

Preserving our unique and cherished beach community environment

Working closely with city administrators and residents to overcome ongoing state mandates and greed driven developers that seek to turn our city into another overcrowded Santa Monica
Keeping the AES site for park space, increasing our tree coverage for beauty and heat reduction, capturing new funding for our parks and reinvigorating recently closed storefronts on PCH

Mitigating our increasing traffic issues

Working with our police and staff to reduce the ever increasing impact of traffic in our community, especially our resident focused streets, the only truly effective solution is ongoing enforcement
Education, regulation and enforcement of the exponentially growing impact of e-bikes in our community

Building Trust with Active Transparency

I am adamant about proactively keeping our residents informed of what is happening in our city, constantly going beyond the ineffective “the information is available” mindset
Engaging and supporting residents to be more involved in our community, we all need to have a voice in our city

Fighting for Funding

While our tax revenue remains the foundation of our funding, increasingly we find that grants and specialized fund sources play an increasing role that we have to go after, there is no waiting for them to come to us
Increasing funding for expansion and upkeep of our parks, our developer fees are sorely in need of another update since I last pushed for this years ago
