John Warren for Stanton City Council District 4
Hello! I am John Douglas Warren, a third-generation Stanton resident, currently serving as a Stanton Community Services Commissioner (former Chairperson) and an Orange County Parks District 4 Commissioner, advising local leadership. I proudly graduated locally from Rancho Alamitos High School, Cypress College, and California State University, Fullerton, where I earned my degree in Public Administration, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
I am committed to addressing public safety issues, including homelessness, prostitution, and long-term vacant properties. My focus is on putting “Stanton First,” ensuring that our community’s needs are my priority. I advocate for responsible development, economic growth, improved public services, and stronger partnerships with neighboring cities and regional entities.
Former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill’s saying, “all politics is local,” recognizes the importance of prioritizing the unique needs of a community. My “Stanton First” commitment focuses on local issues to ensure that our policies directly benefit Stanton residents. By putting Stanton’s needs first, we can foster a stronger community built on trust and engagement. “Stanton First” means dedicated local governance that always prioritizes the well-being of our city.
I’m proud to have earned the support of the Orange County Professional Firefighters Local 3631 and the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS). With rising crime rates and growing emergency service needs, these partnerships strengthen our ability to tackle these challenges and keep Stanton residents safe.
My family has called Stanton home for 53 years. As a third-generation resident, community volunteer for 18 years, board member of two Stanton non-profits, Eagle Scout, and Magna Cum Laude graduate in Public Administration, I am committed to keeping “Stanton First.”
Public safety is my top priority. I will continue supporting our police and firefighters to keep Stanton safe. District 4 faces significant challenges with homelessness, transiency, and crime. I pledge to address these issues by enhancing enforcement, increasing affordable housing, and strengthening regional partnerships.
I will maintain a balanced budget, drive economic growth, and use your tax dollars effectively. Additionally, I will uphold essential public services, keep neighborhoods safe, defend Proposition 13, and protect homeowners’ rights.
As a Stanton Parks, Recreation, & Community Services Commissioner, including chair for five years, I oversaw the renovation of seven city facilities, developed the Parks Master Plan, implemented safety measures, expanded senior and youth programs, increased transparency, and established a community service day. I am also on the Orange County Parks Commission.
Listening to Stanton residents and businesses is crucial. Together, we will keep Stanton a city of “Community Pride and Forward Vision.”
I ask for your vote on November 5.
