Dawn McIntosh
City Attorney Candidate


  1. How long have you lived In Long Beach? 
    23 years
  2. What job or past role will most help you be an effective City Attorney? 
    I am currently the Assistant City Attorney, so I am very familiar with the job duties and responsibilities of the position.  I've also been practicing law for cities and government agencies for my entire 30 year career.
  3. Describe the key characteristics/elements that you feel unify this city across its 9 districts and disparate geography. 
    This is an incredibly diverse city and I believe the residents love it because of its diversity.  We appreciate the different cultures, cuisines and lifestyles of our neighbors.  It's a city of many unique neighborhoods, where people take pride in their neighborhoods and being good neighbors.
  4. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? 
    I'm an extrovert.
  5. Which (living) national leader in any arena — politics, arts, culture, business, etc. — do you admire and why? 
    I admire Barack Obama for his grace under pressure, his cool and even temperament, and his generosity of spirit, all while doing an extraordinarily difficult job.
  6. What is your favorite L.B. hangout with friends and/or family? 
    I love the Farmer's Market on Marina Drive, roller blading on the bike path along the beach, movie nights at College Estates Park and the 2nd Street Christmas Parade.
  7. List the top three quality-of-life issues you see Belmont Shore/Long Beach residents dealing with right now. 
    Homelessness, public safety and rent/housing costs.
  8. What is your preferred or most used social media platform? 
    I don't use social media much, so I guess I would have to say Facebook.
  9. Outside of Long Beach, where in the state is your happy place? 
    Sequoia National Park and Monterey.
  10. Name something about L.B./the Third District you wish more people were aware of.
    ​We are a big city that is really more like a small town, where people really care about our neighbors.
