Simi Valley, 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 congestion and safety on the 118 Ronald Reagan Freeway and Los Angeles Avenue, to support for small businesses on Tapo Canyon, Cochran Street, and around Simi Valley Town Center, Simi Valley deserves a representative who listens first and works quickly. With neighborhoods from Wood Ranch to Big Sky, Metrolink service, and treasured places like Corriganville Park and the Arroyo Simi Greenway, we can protect quality of life while keeping jobs local.
