There are contrasts between candidates Monica Rodriguez and Elisa Avalos over homelessness and crime. A chief issue is the future of Whiteman Airport
The face-off is happening in the context of a newly realigned district map – a result of changes in the state’s population that beginning Jan. 1 redrew boundaries of districts at the city, state and federal level across California.
Avalos believes homelessness is a problem long in the making, but adds that it has reached such crisis levels because it has been mishandled for so long — a result she says will take years and billions of dollars to solve. “But as long as there are criminals who threaten the lives of innocent people, it will sometimes be necessary for police to use deadly force,” she added.
In recent memory, there was the fatal accident involving a Civil Air Patrol plane in November 2020, just a few hundred feet short of the Whiteman Airport’s Runway 12 that ended in the death of the pilot. The Whiteman Airport Community Advisory Committee, formed in December 2020, continues to meet to provide the community an opportunity to re-envision the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration ultimately makes the final decision whether the airport is closed.
“It will continue to play an important role and there are opportunities for the local community to be involved in aviation at the airport and they need to partake of those.”
