Newbury Park, I am listening
Help shape a results-first plan for our community. 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 small businesses in Ventura County.
From 101 congestion at Wendy, Ventu Park, and Borchard, to school-area traffic near Newbury Park High and Sequoia Middle, to wildfire readiness around Dos Vientos and our open space, Newbury Park deserves a representative who listens first and works quickly. With Rancho Conejo business parks, Old Conejo Road corridors, and access to Wildwood and Santa Monica Mountains trails, we can protect quality of life while keeping jobs local.

A healthier climate for small businesses along Old Conejo, Rancho Conejo, and local centers.
Wildfire mitigation, insurance stability, and reliable evacuation and alerting.
