Westlake Village, 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 at the 101 interchanges at Westlake Boulevard and Lindero Canyon Road, to wildfire risk along the Santa Monica Mountains corridor, to the needs of small businesses on Agoura Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Westlake Village deserves a representative who listens first and works quickly.
