Fillmore, I am listening
Help shape a results-first plan for our city. I am Michael Koslow, a 33-year military veteran, former federal special agent, and small business owner running for Congress in California’s 26th District. My focus is practical problem solving that delivers for families and businesses in Ventura County.
From safety and congestion along Highway 126 and Central Avenue, to pressures on small businesses in Historic Downtown and neighborhood corridors, Fillmore deserves a representative who listens first and works quickly. With the Santa Clara River, Sespe Creek, and a proud agricultural heritage, we can protect quality of life while supporting local jobs.
