WHO WE ARE
We are Fullertonians.
We live in every corner of our city and represent every council district.
We are homeowners and renters, educators and students, parents and grandparents, young professionals and retirees, business owners, artists, engineers, and more. Some of us have lived in Fullerton for decades; others chose to make this city our home more recently. We come from different backgrounds, different neighborhoods, and different political perspectives.
What unites us is simple: we care deeply about Fullerton.
We are not a political party or a special interest group. We are residents who believe our city deserves honest leadership, respectful public service, fiscal responsibility, and a government that listens to the people it serves.
How We Came Together
Our coalition formed organically and was born out of growing concern about the direction of our city and the conduct of its elected leaders.
Over the past several years, many of us found ourselves standing together outside City Hall after difficult council meetings. We exchanged phone numbers in parking lots after witnessing dismissive and disrespectful treatment of residents and public meetings that left many feeling unheard. We watched council votes by Fred Jung that repeatedly disregarded community concerns and reflected poor fiscal judgment. We became increasingly concerned by decisions that appeared to limit meaningful public participation, discourage open dialogue, and favor the interests of well-connected campaign contributors over ordinary residents.
We soon realized we were not alone. Residents from across Fullerton's five districts were asking many of the same questions about the future of our city and the direction of its leadership. Those conversations grew into friendships, then into collaboration, and ultimately into this coalition.
What We Believe
Our goal is not simply to remove Fred Jung from public office. Our goal is to help restore a culture of accountability, transparency, respectful public service, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources.
We believe elected officials should welcome questions, explain their decisions, and earn the trust of the communities they represent.
This coalition exists because we believe our city is worth showing up for. We love Fullerton, we believe in its future, and we are committed to building a city where every neighborhood can thrive, every resident has a voice and is respected, and public service once again reflects the public interest.
