Irwin, Klein Lopez lead field in key June 2 primaries

The results are in for the June 2 primary, and as The Acorn (Agoura Hills) reports, the favorites held strong. In the race for the 42nd Assembly District, Deborah Klein Lopez took an early commanding lead, while Jacqui Irwin surged ahead in the 26th Congressional District contest. For Ventura County’s 2nd Supervisorial District, Jeff Gorell also pulled ahead, validating pre-election polls. For Agoura Hills residents, these races carry real weight—especially Irwin's congressional bid, which directly affects federal funding and policy for our region. Klein Lopez’s strong showing also signals the community's priorities in Sacramento. While these are early returns, the trends suggest our local voices are being heard loud and clear.

Candidate targets governance issueAgoura Hills

Candidate targets governance issue

You know how sometimes it feels like our local government moves at a snail’s pace? Well, Mark Perryman is trying to speed things up, and he’s not letting one “no” stop him. According to The Acorn (Agoura Hills), Perryman—a candidate for the Ventura County Board of Supervisors District 2—saw his proposal to form a Community Services District (CSD) for Oak Park get voted down 4-1 by the Oak Park Municipal Advisory Council last month. That might sound like a dry procedural hiccup, but for anyone who lives in Oak Park or nearby unincorporated areas, it’s a big deal. A CSD could mean more local control over things like parks, streetlights, and fire prevention—stuff that affects our daily lives but often gets tangled up in county bureaucracy. What’s refreshing here is that Perryman isn’t backing down. He’s framing this as a governance issue, not a political loss. And honestly, that’s the kind of persistence we need in the 805. Whether you agree with his approach or not, it’s worth paying attention to because how we govern these unincorporated pockets—from Oak Park to parts of Agoura Hills—shapes everything from your property taxes to how quickly a pothole gets fixed. So keep an eye on this race. It’s not just about one CSD; it’s about whether our local voices can actually steer the ship.

Agoura protesters worry new housing increases city’s fire riskAgoura Hills

Agoura protesters worry new housing increases city’s fire risk

If you’ve ever sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic at Kanan and Agoura roads during a red flag warning, you know the knot-in-your-stomach feeling that comes with it. That stretch is already a choke point when we’re just trying to get to the grocery store—so imagine trying to evacuate hundreds of families with flames on the horizon. According to The Acorn (Agoura Hills), a group of local residents called PRISMM gathered at that very intersection on May 2 to protest new housing developments they say would turn our main escape route into a death trap. It’s not about being anti-housing—it’s about being pro-survival. We live in one of the most fire-prone regions in the state, and anyone who’s watched the Woolsey Fire scar our hills knows that when the Santa Anas kick up, every second counts. Adding more homes without widening Kanan or creating a secondary evacuation corridor feels like playing with matches in a dry canyon. PRISMM isn’t just waving signs; they’re asking the city to slow down and think about what happens when the next big fire comes. And honestly, that’s a conversation every Agoura Hills neighbor should be part of—because your driveway might be their only way out.
