We just got an email today from Carlsbad City Council Candidate Evan Rodgers letting us know that her paperwork has been accepted.
I just heard from the City Clerk that my forms and signatures were verified by the Registrar of Voters. I am now an official candidate and will be on the Nov 4 ballot. . . . My website is CleanCarlsbad.com.
Any candidate that has a website with a skateboarder at the top of the page is getting our vote. Plain and simple. Stay tuned for our continuing coverage of Evan’s City Council bid.

That Rodgers girl is right about how desperately Carlsbad kids need the Alga Norte pools and skate park. Phelps, Hoff, the other swimmers, and the American water polo team at the Summer Olympics are just going to increase interest and demand for the pools. It’s great for kids to get active but with North County’s shortage of pool time, prepare for even longer waiting lists. City council has heard repeatedly from large groups of swim parents, water polo parents, dive team parents, adult triathletes, and seniors and parents of handicap kids who need water therapy. There would probably be synchronized swimming in Carlsbad too if they had pool space! Voter turn-out is going to be big November 4 and again in 2010 when Carlsbad elects a new mayor. Skaters may not show up in droves to city hall but their parents vote too. Does city council think the skaters will just stop skating if they demolish the Orion park without building Alga Norte? Carlsbad is famous for skateboarding but Carlsbad kids won’t have a place to skate before long. A Carlsbad girl made it all the way to olympic trials this summer but she and a lot of other Carlsbad kids who want to swim or learn to swim in Carlsbad are being turned away from the Carlsbad pool because it’s too small.
