The number of candidates running in the Beverly Hills City Council 2020 election is now up to three with the announcement of two planning commissioners joining the race.
Lori Greene Gordon and Farshid Joe Shooshani have both said they are running, joining Councilman Julian Gold in the race for the two council seats that will be up for election on March 3, 2020. The other incumbent, Councilwoman Lili Bosse, has not announced if she will run for re-election.
Gordon has served as a commissioner since April 2015, and on her website, votelori2020.com, Gordon said her experience on the commission and years as a resident have “given me insight into the key issues facing our community.”
“We need leadership that is prepared to change and think forward, and I believe that my expertise and passion for Beverly Hills can steer this city in a positive direction … I want to represent my fellow residents’ best interests and make this community truly exceptional in every way,” she said.
Shooshani has served on the Planning Commission since March 2014. From 2008 to 2013, he served on the Beverly Hills Public Works Commission.
In a video on his website, votejoebh.com, Shooshani said as a “family man, a resident for 42 years and a small-business owner, I am uniquely positioned to understand the needs of both residents and businesses.”
“I believe in preserving the best of our past while paving the brightest possible future,” he said.
