Keeping Santa Monica Safe
I am former Santa Monica Mayor and City Council member Phil Brock, running for election to the Santa Monica City Council. As your Mayor from 2023-2024, and City Council Member from 2020-2024, I steadfastly stood for residents' interests through four years of unprecedented challenges — and there is more to do.
I AM Listening. Our citizens have wisdom. They know why they moved here and what they want Santa Monica to be. My grandparents didn't settle here for high-rises, canyon streets lined by tall buildings, or rampant crime. Restoring public safety, economic vitality, significantly retooling our homeless policies, and reducing the state's constant refrain for more housing that does not benefit our city's future are the highest priorities for our city in 2026.
I AM Committed to Public Safety. We must reduce crime and find real homelessness solutions. Between burglaries, random assaults, and robberies, Santa Monica's soul is in danger. While we have recently made strides due to an increased police presence and change in policies, our city must be made safer. A substantial increase in public safety personnel and equipment is still required. I will be a Council member with a backbone — and I will not stop fighting to restore our public safety.
I Support Slow Growth. We live here for the fresh air, the palm trees, the ocean, the openness. Big developers and the State want to replace that with dense buildings and traffic jams. That is not why I stayed in the city I was born in. I will continue to protect what makes Santa Monica magical.
I Want to Hear From You. Meet me at your street corner, in your backyard, on a walk, or on Zoom. I value every conversation.
Please Donate. Several of my opponents are backed by the long-established political machine. My independent campaign is backed only by neighbors like you. We are fighting for the soul and safety of our town. Donate today at votebrock.org/contribute

Santa Monica’s Homeless Crisis: A City at Its Limit
Council Votes to Back Prop 36!
After a brief but spirited debate on crime and punishment, the City Council voted 4 to 3 Tuesday night to endorse a statewide measure that cracks down on repeat offenders.
The pro-law enforcement Council majority argued that Prop 36, which is leading in the polls by a large margin, would reverse policies that have for a decade created a revolving door for those who commit drug and retail related crimes.
Safety in Santa Monica
Just last night an SMC employee was shot in a school facility. Two weeks ago, a lunatic stole a knife in Target and seriously stabbed a policeman. Santa Monicans are naturally concerned with safety in our streets.
We want to be able to shop unmolested. We want our homes and cars safe from break-ins. We want to be able to take a walk in the neighborhood after dinner unthreatened by mentally-ill individuals.
