- Restoring Competence to our City Council
- Protecting Palm Desert’s future for your family and his
These are some of the issues Gregg will fight for as your Palm Desert City Council member:
Assistance for Seniors and Caregivers!
Gregg (pictured with his Mom) knows what it's like to face the issues of senior care and will work to make sure our loved ones find solutions to better health and safety.
Water Conservation!
While some current council members prefer expensive and wasteful surf parks, Gregg Akkerman knows the best path to protecting our property values is to lead by example and conserve our precious resources.
Alternative Transportation!
Gregg has explored alternative transportation in Palm Desert since 1971 when he visited with Andy the Donkey Man where the Target shopping center is today. He'll keep investigating new options to get around town that are affordable and eco-friendly.
Restore Public Safety!
In 2020, the City Council voted unanimously to slash the police budget by millions leading to a 45% increase in violent crime. Gregg's opponent called her vote "smart police budgeting," but he calls it what it is--a mistake that needs to be fixed. Gregg will keep speaking up to restore the police budget so that Palm Desert residents feel safer from violent crime.
Countdown to the Nov. 5, 2024 Election!
Time is ticking down to Election Day, so hurry to make your contribution to Team Akkerman!
