Dave Ouwerkerk stands for Smart Development for a Balanced Torrance.  Torrance faces unrestrained development that threatens our quality of life.  Traffic is getting worse every day.  Our supporting infrastructure is strained, old, and in need of refurbishment or replacement.  Torrance needs leadership that is committed to the goal of improving the quality of life.  Torrance needs the return of government that is by the people and for the people through controls on campaign spending.  It is out of control and beyond the reach of many qualified individuals.

Dave Ouwerkerk is the right man for the Torrance City Council.
