Mark Guillen
3rd District Council Candidate
​
  1. How long have you lived In Long Beach?
    I have lived in the Long Beach area my whole life, except for when I was away at college. I have lived in the 3rd district for the past 6 year.
  2. What job or past role will most help you be an effective councilmember?
    Chairman of the Redistricting Committee for the Community College districts was a great experience in learning how to listen to constituents, understand how boundaries separate or bring together communities, and realize the enormous impact of a decision on a large community. In addition, my current job given me considerable experience working with local, state, and federal governments. I know how to navigate the necessary steps to get things done. I will not have a learning curve and will be able to ‘hit the ground running’ day one in office to best represent my constituents.
