Nelson Age: 29 Occupation: High School Teacher Education and Qualifications: Education: M.A. History; Advance coursework in political science, geography and environment, and physic education. The next four years are vital to the future of Carlsbad. We have th chance to create and preserve a remarkable coastal community. I support th following proposals: . —Develop adequate recreation facilities. Our present parks, tennis court swimming pool, and athletic fields are either inadequate, insufficient, c non-existent; —Downtown revitalization is necessary immediately to prevent furth deterioration; —Carlsbad must work to resist pressures to "recreate the sprawl of Oran] County or the pollution of El Segundo. Careful planning is vital. Peop who have made Carlsbad their home have just as much right protection of their investment as speculators who depend upon ra growth and urbanization. Responsible growth management is obligation of the council to the citizens who put them in office. —I will schedule weekly "office hours" to give citizens a chance to rel their ideas on local issues. I will actively seek out the opinions Carlsbad residents to determine what they want from their pub servants. Carlsbad needs a council that is responsive and dedicated tow preserving and improving the quality of life in the community. MARK A. NELS< '• Name: Age: Occupation: STATEMENT OF RONALD C.

Political philosophy—less government, more personal responsibility. Believe that all levels of government are intruding into and diluting our personal freedom. Believe strongly in free enterprise and the Republic. Believe that schools, mass media and other opinion molders should reacquaint everyone with the fact we live in a Republic (not a Democracy) and educate so the public understands the difference. Lets get back to free enterprise principles under which this country grew and prospered. JOEL H. PRESCOTT STATEMENT OF ANTHONY J.
