"Laguna Beach has always benefited from people stepping up, serving, and then making room for the next generation to do the same. Term limits help bring fresh perspectives to City Hall while ensuring our local government stays connected to the residents it serves."
- Andy Coyle, President of Laguna Classic Cars & Automotive Art, Inc.
"I strongly support term limits for the Laguna Beach City Council. This measure will provide fresh perspectives that better reflect the goals of voters and prevent the accumulation of power by long-term council members and their interests."
- Lorene Laguna, Resident
"I endorse the citizen-led ballot initiative for term limits for Laguna Beach City Council. Term limits encourage more new candidates to run for office by reducing the significant electoral advantages incumbents possess, including superior name recognition, established donor networks, tailored media coverage, and built-in campaign organizations. These advantages disproportionately discourage challengers and limit competition. By implementing term limits, we can level the playing field and promote greater participation in our local governance. I support this measure as a positive step toward renewed civic engagement for a more responsive resident serving government. Overall, the data confirms that incumbent fundraising superiority is a structural barrier in local elections, reinforcing entrenched power even in smaller cities like Laguna Beach."
- Dr. Merrill Anderson, Resident of North Laguna
"Clearly, the lack of term limits has allowed a situation to fester where we have entrenched city council members who indulge themselves in vanity projects we can’t afford."
- C. Deborah Laughton, Resident
"Complacency and cronyism sets in without term limits. 8 years on and two years off keep City Council members sharp and focused on all Laguna Beach residents they were elected to represent. Council members get 8 years to accomplish their goals and then a break to refresh before running again."
