Let's bring it back.</p><p dir=\"auto\">There are no magic bullets, but the job of the City Council is to move our city forward. Right now, we spend too much time and money stopping projects, delaying decisions, and settling for the least ambitious solution.</p><p dir=\"auto\">To protect what we love about Burbank, we need to remember what brought us here. Burbank is a place where working people can build a life, a family can buy a home, and a small business can grow. Those doors were open for us. Let's open them for the next generation.</p><p dir=\"auto\">That means more housing, real paths to homeownership, stronger support for local businesses, and a City Hall willing to act with urgency to make our streets safer.</p><p dir=\"auto\">I am running for City Council to listen closely, ask hard questions, and turn good ideas into action.</p><p dir=\"auto\">Burbank can preserve what makes it special by making opportunity possible again for generations to come.</p><p dir=\"auto\">Join me in building a better Burbank.</p><p dir=\"auto\">EddyPolon.com | @EddyPolon</p><p dir=\"auto\"></p><p dir=\"auto\"></p>","editTs":"2026-09-29T20:21:31.225757","language":"EN","status":4,"contestId":10425,"electionId":4348,"candidateId":26677,"publishedBy":69,"statementId":60862,"createdBy":69,"lastChangeBy":69,"publicCandidate":null}]
