Jim Moffatt, Rancho Cucamonga City Council candidate
"Offers a strong economic and professional background with many years of effective leadership experience."
As a professional businessman, I have received numerous awards for my performance in excellence. As a team player I have also had the privilege of inspiring others to achieve a high level of performance.
1978-present Owner, Red Hill Coffee Shop Manages all areas of business. Overall management includes but not limited to training and maintaining employees, budgeting and all responsibilities involved. I work well with others, even in a leadership position.
District Sales Manager, Thom McAn Shoes Began in 1956 and transferred to California as a District Sales Manager. Very successful in managing the west coast district stores. Retired 1996.
I am a natural and persuasive communicator recognized with the ability to energize and inspire individuals to work towards achieving a common goal. I am a creative and resourceful professional with a track record of initiating or contributing to community activities.
We, as a city should and must live within our means as we also hope the state of California would do the same, but we must focus on our city. I am against the proposal or any incentive for higher taxes. I am also committed to providing new residents as well as our established residents with a good quality of life which requires less crowding by reducing densities within our city limits. I believe in taking action to improve our quality of life and I will proudly represent our city.
I will be honored to earn your support in this coming election. Committing myself to our community has been an absolute pleasure and has provided me with a great sense of purpose. I want to be a voice in the City Council, and I pledge to protect your interest. I am not backed by any outside Special Interest Groups.

In life, there are powerful words that touch us in profound ways and have lasting impressions on us. Such are the words of John Donne,
"No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee. "
We all have value. We are all in this together. Not the least of us should be marginalized, ignored, or disenfranchised. All of our voices should be heard.
We do not have an aristocracy in America. We are "born not to the blood of kings but to the blood of pioneers and immigrants". An individual's value is not determined by how much wealth they have amassed, how many titles they possess, how many powerful people they know, or how well-worn their Bible is.
A man's measure is the goodness of his heart and the "content of his character".
In a democracy the government exists to serve the people - all the people. But with this gift that has been paid in blood comes responsibility and obligation. We are duty bound to participate for in a democracy the people are the "king". If we are not vigilant, if we are complacent, the government quickly forgets who their masters truly are.
All too often, government has grown insular and arrogant. You have to have a ticket to be a player. Not exactly what our Founding Fathers had in mind.
I am running because I consider public service to be an honor, a moral imperative, and a sacred trust. I do not believe my city is poorly run. It is administered well. But we need a course correction. Rancho's environmental policies have been reckless and short-sighted. We can no longer hold to this destructive path.
Now, who am I? I am a husband, a father, a grandfather, and just one more voice in this noisy cacophony we call democracy. What do I believe in? Honor, commitment, service, fidelity, sacrifice, compassion, fairness, and stewardship are the values I hold most dear.
I can say with certainty that I will be an alternative voice and that all will be heard, even those with antagonistic point of views, for that metaphoric bell truly does toll for each of us.
