THANK YOU FOR ELECTING ME IN 2016!

VOTE TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3RD!

In support of campaign finance reform, I will not be accepting donations.  I will not use lawn signs, endorsements, or advertisements.  Your vote is all I need. 

Name:  Paul Pitino

Occupation:  Self-employed Landscaper

I moved to Arcata in 1993 with my 3 adolescent sons as a single parent, on a leap of faith, with no employment, friends, or connections.  Since then the community has shown me and love and support in everything I have done.

Beginning in 1997 I served on the City of Arcata Transportation Safety Committee, until 2004.     I was elected to the Arcata City Council in 2004. I was re-elected in 2014 for a two year term. I was re-elected in 2016 and my term will be up in November of 2020. I’m looking forward to serving another 4 year term.

Currently, I am the Chairman of the Board of the Humboldt Transit Authority and a city representative on the Humboldt County Local Area Formation Committee (LAFCO).

There are several community projects that I have advocated for including the City of Arcata downtown public restroom, Humboldt County Sunday bus service, the In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) worker’s contract with Humboldt County, rehabilitation of my neighborhood park (Rotary Park), and the Arcata Mobile Home Space Rent Stabilization Ordinance.

I will work to improve the quality of life in Arcata by focusing on a premier destination dog park, a village style transitional housing project, continued upgrade of small neighborhood parks, City of Arcata and Humboldt State University collaboration, late night county bus service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights,  creation of satellite parking for downtown Arcata, creation of a bicycle campground, and Code Inspection (Health and Safety) of Arcata rental units.

I have enjoyed serving the community since I first began in 1997 and have also very much enjoyed serving as City Council member. I appreciate being engaged and involved in the community and making changes that affect all residents of Arcata.

In support of campaign finance reform, I will not be accepting donations.  I will not use lawn signs, endorsements, or advertisements.  Your vote is all I need.
