In her campaign page she says she grew up in PG.
I know lots of Fresno people flock to town when it’s hot, but growing up is a stretch of truth.
Let’s have some representation that holds true.

Weak Peake, Mayor’s Seat He Does Not Seek
Vote for Miller.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake seemed determined to run for a fourth term—he took out candidate filing papers on the first day of the nomination period, July 15, according to the P.G. City Clerk’s office—but about a week later he returned those papers, withdrawing from the race.
Two days later, on July 24, former P.G. councilmember Dan Miller took out papers to run for mayor as well. He ran in 2016 for mayor after serving several years on council but lost to Bill Kampe, but since then has been a town firebrand, voicing his disagreements at city meetings and through the now-defunct P.G Press newspaper.
Wachs On Wachs Off
Texas transplant fool (it’s the backwards hat) thought he could be mayor after living here 1 year. And the fools from Coast Weakly endorsed him?
“It’s kind of a shock. I knew Mayor Peake would be a tough candidate to go up against,” said Wachs, who added that he hopes there is a large enough number of younger voices coming up in the future to lead the city.
Wachs, 40, entered late in the race “for his kids,” and said previously that he wants to help build a better city for them and future generations. Wachs came to Pacific Grove in 2021 from Houston with his wife and two young children. For the past two decades, his professional career has varied from creating billboards for sports teams to serving as an art director for venture capital-backed media startups.
Tina Rau, Our Hateful DEITF Chairperson Running For Council
Tina Rau chairs the City’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force but seems full of hate online toward people with different opinions. No one with that kind of mindset deserves to be on any board calling for inclusion, let alone be on city council. Disband the slanted DEITF, and don’t vote for Tina. We deserve better than her.
Ms. Rau is now being called out as her views have come to light. Ms. Rau has tweeted and retweeted other’s posts over 4,000 times. Among her posts are ones mocking people who say “thoughts and prayers,” Republicans, Catholics, Christians, people who support prolife, supporters of the Constitution, and she even expresses the belief that we should “defund the Supreme Court”.
Here’s a few of Tina Rau’s statements and echoes that see slants toward:
Catholics and Republicans deserve to be equal unless they are judged by Tina.
What someone overreacting in 2016 might look like:

Congressman Jimmy Panetta Will Ban Single Use Plastics
What a single use plastic might look like:
Local communities have taken the necessary steps to reduce unnecessary plastic products. But now it’s time for the federal government to demonstrate leadership and address this problem,” said Panetta. “The Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act sets out a marker to show the need to rein in waste, improve recycling, decrease harmful emissions, and help stop plastics from ending up in our oceans.
Every Election Needs A Politically Correct Candidate
Seeking to bring diversity to the face of the city council, an emphasis on more green initiatives and policies that foster affordability for renters and buyers, Dionne Ybarra has announced her candidacy for mayor of Pacific Grove.
The candidate said her Mexican-American heritage represents one of many diverse groups that have come to live in P.G. from all over the world bringing different cultures, languages, and perspectives.
Vacation Homeowner* Bill Peak Running For Mayor
A newcomer running against a status quo new comer. Doomed.
Peake will face fellow Councilman Rudy Fischer, who has served on the council since 2010. Last month Fischer officially tossed his hat in the ring for November’s mayoral race. Fischer said he wanted to continue the council’s current policies and direction including improvements to the city’s infrastructure and noted the importance of upcoming roadway renovation
*From Coast Weakly October 9, 2014:
We recommend adding Bill Peake to the council. A newcomer to both the city and its political landscape, Peake is a retired Chevron engineer who bought a house in the city 25 years ago, but only moved in full time four years ago.
P.G. Councilwoman Really Was Not In It For The Residents
Moves to P.G. signs on to be city council, wins thinking that everyone loves her, gets the illusion that she can go further, runs for congress and gets trounced, quits and leaves town. Goes back east where she came from to run some odd company.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat P.G. These newcomers keep getting elected but do nothing for the town or its longtime residents.
Can you figure out just what her new job really does?
Her company works with groups, including municipal staffs, state agencies, military personnel, and civil servants, and provides training to empower staffs, develop new leaders, encourage management to think differently about ongoing challenges, in interesting and entertaining ways
Miller Time For Mayor
Dan Miller would be way better than STR loving K(r)ampe
Kampe’s opponent, Dan Miller said there is another challenge more pressing than water.
“Financial stability mainly, and I have tried to do that for years, even before I was on the city council, and trying to convince the councils to keep control of spending,” Miller said.
Miller is a third generation Pacgrovian and has served six years on the city council.
Pacific Grove has long been burdened with problems related to the public employee retirement system and Miller said as mayor he would be against exorbitant pay raises and retirements for city staff. Currently the city has about $4.7 million a year budgeted annually for public employee retirement related expenses.
