Craig’s Endorsements

“I was honored to serve two terms as Beverly Hills Mayor and City Councilman, and now I’m honored to be supporting Craig Corman for a seat on the Council. With his years of service as a City Commissioner, Craig has devoted himself to serving Beverly Hills and helping build a brighter future for our City. He’s completely independent and won’t be influenced by anything other than what’s best for Beverly Hills. Most importantly, he’s a great listener, and by working with all sides and learning everyone’s perspective, he’s always able to find the right solutions. I wholeheartedly support Craig for City Council!”

“As your former Mayor, I know what it takes to serve the community of Beverly Hills. Craig Corman is thoughtful, intelligent, and passionate about our City, and he is the most qualified and best prepared candidate running for City Council. Join me in voting for Craig.”

“I’ve been trying to get Craig Corman to run for City Council for over 10 years, and when Craig finally agreed to do so, not only was I thrilled, but Craig is the only candidate I will endorse, and I believe he’s one of the only candidates I’ve ever endorsed in all the time I’ve been on the Council. That’s how strongly I feel that he is the right person at the right time. Having Craig on the Council would be a tremendous benefit for the entire community – you will not find anyone who cares more about the community, is more thoughtful, and is as smart as Craig. I’m thankful Craig is running.”

“When I look for a candidate, I look for specific qualities: integrity, responsible to the electorate that put him/her there, will follow the General Plan (Municipal Code), and smart. These are not qualities you can buy – you either have them or you don’t. I think Craig Corman meets these criteria - he’s someone I’ve wanted to run for office for years, someone that I respect with my whole heart, and someone I trust to represent me – and that’s why I’m supporting Craig for City Council.”

“Craig is the person the residents need on City Council – someone who is analytical and comes up with solutions! He listens to residents – having lived here 50+ years – and takes to heart our concerns. I’ve worked side-by-side with him on the Planning Commission, and he’s my #1 choice.”

“I encouraged Craig Corman to run for City Council and am delighted he has chosen to do so. Craig has served on the Beverly Hills Planning Commission and Cultural Heritage Commission. He is a lifetime resident of Beverly Hills and a thoughtful, knowledgeable, reasoned person who works well with others and would be a great addition to our Council. I urge you to join me in voting for Craig on March 5.”

“Beverly Hills will be mired with complicated issues that require the best experience and decisive leadership. Craig Corman’s professional background, profound city knowledge, and years of proven commitment will serve as a shield to move our city forward. Craig is an independent candidate who is only beholden to serving our community. Make no mistake, the stakes are high for Beverly Hills. I strongly encourage everyone to vote for substance and join me in supporting Craig Corman for City Council with one of your two votes.”

“I have known Craig for 50 years – since we were classmates at BHHS. Over the years, we have worked together in a variety of settings and situations – from collaborating on important City Planning projects to discussing complex legal issues to coaching with and against one another in little league. In every setting and on every occasion, Craig demonstrated character, knowledge, intelligence, and the highest level of integrity. He will be a great addition to our City Council, and that’s why I’m voting for him.”

“Not only have I known Craig Corman for 60 years, I had the good fortune of serving with him on the Planning Commission during the start of my tenure. Craig is one of the smartest people I know, and no one has a deeper understanding of the serious issues facing our city and more specific plans to deal with them. I have full confidence in Craig’s ability to make good decisions that will benefit Beverly Hills, and I am proud to endorse his candidacy and vote for him for City Council.”

“Craig has demonstrated all of the skills that we need on the Council – analytical, legislative, quasi-judicial, executive, and leadership. No one is better qualified to be on our City Council, and that is why I support him.”

“I’m proud to support Craig Corman for a seat on the Beverly Hills City Council. I’ve known Craig for 50+ years, and I served with him on both the Planning and Cultural Heritage Commissions; over my 20 years of service on Beverly Hills Commissions, Craig was one of the best people I ever worked with. He’s smart, thoughtful, creative, and has an uncanny knack for bringing both sides of an issue together and coming up with good compromises that work for everyone. I know Craig can help lead Beverly Hills forward – we’d be lucky to have him as one of our City Councilmembers, and I hope you’ll join me in voting for him.”

“I’ve known Craig Corman for many years and served with him on the Planning Commission, and I strongly support his campaign for City Council. While we didn’t always see eye to eye, we always got along because Craig never made disagreements personal, and I knew he wanted what was best for Beverly Hills. Craig thoroughly studied and understood every matter that came before us, considered the views and needs of all members of our community, and always made sound, reasoned decisions. Craig has the intelligence and understanding of the way government works to be an outstanding Councilmember, and he has my vote to fill an important seat at this critical time.”

"Craig Corman was my mentor on the Planning Commission. His expertise in a variety of matters, ranging from land use to law to historic preservation, is unmatched. Now, more than ever, we need a clear-headed thinker with exceptional community knowledge to help guide our city into the future. I wholeheartedly encourage you to join me in voting for Craig Corman."

“I had the pleasure of serving on the city’s Planning Commission alongside Craig Corman for several years. During this time, Craig proved himself to be a true leader and innovator. He’s both “scary smart” and decisive, and very often helped our decision making process by offering creative, problem-solving solutions. Beverly Hills would be most fortunate to have Craig on its City Council, and I encourage everyone to join me in voting for him.”

“I have been fortunate to serve with Craig Corman on the Cultural Heritage Commission. In his role as a commissioner, or as Commission Chair, his contributions to the city have been extraordinary. His knowledge, expertise, and personal care are a driving force in the success of the Commission, particularly when it comes to technical and qualitative application of the Municipal Code. He always seems to find the right balance between preservation of the city’s historic assets and the needs of the city’s residents, which is not an easy task. He has my personal and professional support, as well as my vote, to serve as a member of the Beverly Hills City Council.”

“I have worked alongside Craig for the past five years on the Cultural Heritage Commission. He is incredibly knowledgeable, fair, impartial, and always available to explain the intricacies of the Historic Preservation Ordinance which he was instrumental in drafting while on the Planning Commission. His motives are always in the best interest of the city he grew up in, and he wants to serve his community because he cares so much about its future.”

“I am proud to serve as Chair of Craig Corman’s City Council campaign. I have known Craig his entire life, and I can honestly say he is an ideal person to serve on our Council – he’s bright, experienced, clear-thinking, and unbiased. I’ve been trying to get Craig to run for City Council for many years, and I’m thrilled – as we all should be – that he has finally agreed to do so. Craig is the best candidate for the job, and I know he will serve with honor and distinction, just as he has for so many years as a City Commissioner and community volunteer. I urge everyone who cares about our great City to vote for Craig.”
