Bruce Ehlers has a goal: ‘to get us out of adolescence and into adulthood’
New Encinitas Mayor Bruce Ehlers, 66, grew up in a family where political service was a part of life.
Jim Polick, who has known Ehlers since the 1970s when the two were in junior high together and now lives in Wisconsin, said both dad and son also became engineers, as did one of Ehlers’ brothers. However, he added, Ehlers isn’t your stereotypical nerdy engineer. “We pulled off the freeway at Encinitas Boulevard and said, ‘This looks good,’” and have stayed ever since — more than 40 years, he joked.
And, he twice served on the city’s Planning Commission — once from 2002 to 2004, and again from 2017 to 2022. During his second term while he was running for City Council, the council unanimously voted to remove him from the Planning Commission. The council members said they did so because he filed paperwork supporting a housing development-related court case against the city and had made public comments against the city’s housing policies.
