Announcing my candidacy for Arcadia City Council in District 2 at the City Council Meeting.

Good evening, Mayor, Council Members, and residents of Arcadia. My name is Burton Brink, and I grew up here in Arcadia. My family has been part of this community since 1967, and my family still lives here. My mother, Carolyn Brink, even served on the Planning Commission in the late 1970s, so our family has deep roots and is very invested in Arcadia. I started my law enforcement career right here as a police explorer with the Arcadia Police Department in 1977. I later retired from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department as a sergeant in 2017. I served for eight years as a commissioner here in the city, and I'm running for Arcadia City Council in District 2 because I want District 2 residents to have a choice for their voice. I want to bring leadership focused on public safety, transparency, and protecting the quality of life that makes Arcadia so special. I am not accepting any campaign contributions. This campaign is paid entirely with my own personal money. That way, my obligation is to the residents and businesses of Arcadia.
