The candidate for City Council with the best ideas for improving District 2 and all of Palm Desert!
Having grown up in the Palm Desert area Gregg knows its wonderful history, but he wants to better prepare for the future with:
- Improved public safety for our homes, businesses, and tourists
- Expanded higher education
- Enhanced public transportation
- Well-funded First Responders
- Vigilance against gerrymandered districts
- Water conservation instead of surf parks
- Support for the current restrictions on short-term rentals
What Inspires Gregg's Campaign?
- Keeping promises
- 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.
No Gerrymandering!
Only after intense public pressure and threat of lawsuit did the current council finally agree to embrace the 5-district model required by the California Voting Rights Act and I will ensure these districts are compliant and fair to the voters of Palm Desert.
Public Safety
Keeping Palm Desert residents, business owners, and tourists feeling safe is my priority. I will focus on consistent and transparent communication with first responders and citizens to promote a sense of safety throughout our city.
Countdown to the Nov. 5, 2024 Election!
Time is ticking down to Election Day, so hurry to make your contribution to Team Akkerman!
