Remaining at -large cities often don't. Palm Desert is wonderful and successful thanks to residents, families, students, and businesses. We care for our neighbors and embrace the diverse changes measured in the Census. We solve problems as a team based on your votes. YES on Measure B strengthens Palm Desert and values the challenges facing our different neighborhoods. Districts reflect community values. Districts elect Councilmembers with shared experiences reflecting the needs of our neighbors. They collaborate on your concerns for public safety, reporting adverse weather, unsafe traffic and more. When sand, wind or flooding close streets, they can harm families and businesses in entire neighborhoods. Districts can save lives and promote business. DRIVING PAST A NEIGHBORHOOD IS DIFFERENT THAN LIVING THERE. • At -large elections allow polarizing candidates to win with only a few vQjes. This is not representation. This is how divisiveness persists. • Districts get the money out of politics. At -large cities that think $4,900 cam ai n donation limits are unfair, often favor specual *nteCests over residents. It is far more affordable for a good community leader to run in their neighborhood than in the entire city. • Z1 Q already have districts_ The El Paseo Business District establishes their different economic interests from other Palm Desert merchants. We have many HOAs and gated communities. Residents have created these smaller districts within the city with geographic and economic differences. • Districts are not new. We elect Federal, State and County representatives by district. We elect representatives on School, Healthcare and Water Districts. Your vote is a precious resource.
