City of Fillmore

Carrie Broggie
For more than 20 years, I have been a public servant in our county in an agency responsible to protect and serve our citizens. As a member of the executive management team ofthe District Attorney’s Office, I interact regularly with constituents, crime victims, law enforcement, elected officials, local and state agencies, as a direct representative of the District Attorney. I work on fiscal, legislative, and employment matters, as well as policy and budgetary issues that not only affect our agency, but also the community we serve which includes Fillmore.My career has provided me with in-depth experience and knowledge of public policy, and as a result, I know what it takes to find solutions, navigate complicated governmental agencies, and how to get things done.
Additionally, I have had the privilege of serving the community of Fillmore as a commissioner on the Film Commission. I am currently serving my second term as chair of the commission. During my tenure as a commissioner, film revenue inthe city has consistently exceeded all previous years. While the city was struggling financially, the Film Commission worked hard to increasefilm production that added revenue to the general fund. I am very proud of the work my fellow commissioners and I have accomplished over the past three years.
My career in public service, combined with my experience as a commissioner,brought me to where I am today as a candidate for city council. My goal is not to be a politician, but rather to be involved in my community and to continue serving with the talents, skills and knowledge I have acquired through hard work, tenacity, and many years of experience serving the public. Thank you for the opportunity to serve Fillmore.

Being a city councilmember is about serving the community in a leadership capacity. There are many life experiences that have prepared me for the task. My earliest leadership experience was in the Boy Scouts. The Scouts teach a boy to be a solid, upstanding citizen. I’ve learned to apply the Boy Scout Law throughout my life.
As a police explorer in an LA suburb, I was trained to handle difficult and challenging situations, handling routine and emergency calls, learning to be calm under pressure and to treat all people fairly and with respect. I also served in the US Air Force as a K9 Cop. Military leadership experience is unparalleled.
Throughout my career in the computer field, I’ve been asked to step into the role of managing many projects; determining the best courses of action and seeing them through to completion. I’m also involved with a professional business organization that places a heavy emphasis on professional development, including leadership training.
Shortly after moving to Fillmore, I applied for, and was appointed to, the Planning Commission where I continue to serve today. Shortly after joining the Planning Commission, I found myself in the position of being the only member left on the commission. Four new members were appointed and I was elected to be their chairperson.
I needed to step up and I did. Now, it’s time for me to step up again and serve my community as a councilmember.
Over the past four years, I’ve been a regular fixture at council meetings. I’ve seen the items that come before the council and I know the issues the city faces and deals with. My experience qualifies me to join the council and to serve the citizens of Fillmore.

As a currently appointed Fillmore City Councilmember I have the firsthand knowledge and experience required to be an effective and hardworking member of the council. Since I was appointed by the current council only 6 months after the 2012 election, I was fortunate enough to be involved in each of the instrumental decisions which have began to put Fillmore back on track. Some of these monumental examples of recovery are the tax BOE tax settlements, locating and hiring of our City Manager, bringing about a newly balanced budget and the continuation and expansion of our public safety net. As a board member of the Ventura County Sheriffs Foundation, I was able to help locate and secure a grant for Fillmore to purchase and install microwave technology cameras which will be installed on several public streets to ensure a higher level of public safety for our residents. Additionally, in my profession as a property manager I prepare and operate within numerous multi-million dollar budgets on a daily basis. I have learned that having a well planned and balanced budget is the road map to any business success. Additionally, my current working relationships with city staff, legal counsel and the current council body have matured over my tenure. These productive working relationships have created an environment where ample work gets accomplished with minimal slow down and stumbling blocks. My communication skills with city staff and the residents of Fillmore has always been, and remains completely open. I believe this transparency and honesty to be available to residents will allow a higher level of confidence in our city staff and leadership. I would be honored to represent our citizens for a full four year term and continue the great work that has began under my leadership.
