Michael Allawos
Michael Allawos – Occupation: Chief Executive Officer
Candidate Statement: “I am asked on a regular basis what I mean by “Hometown Values”. They go something like this: Opening our homes to our neighbors, sharing our thoughts, ideas and dreams with each other. Looking out for each other in good times and bad; saying hello to each other on the streets and sidewalks. Protecting our way of life is paramount, which requires controlling our growth in a responsible and balanced manner that fits our lifestyle and community. Hometown Values are important to me and my family. We moved here to Glendora because of the values that Glendora projected. Cynthia and I raised our two children here because Glendora fit our moral values and had the atmosphere of a friendly small town.
I started another business here as an investment into our way of life, sharing our hometown with the many visitors that we host from around the world on a regular basis. Please come and join me in my campaign to ensure that we have a local government that listens to our needs, wishes and dreams without sacrificing our future and values. We are a unique City; let’s keep it that way with our “Hometown Values”.”

Karen Davis
Karen Davis (Incumbent) – Occupation: Pastor
Candidate Statement: “My family and I have been involved in our community for more than 24 years. The past 12 years I have had the pleasure of being elected to our City Council, and for three years, serving as your Mayor. When I first sought election to the Glendora City Council, I did so because I believed it was a natural extension of my service to the community. I believe the same today – my vocation is one of service to others, and I want to continue to use my talents and abilities to serve the Glendora community with my leadership and experience. I have been involved with many of our youth activities, seniors, health and social services, and law enforcement. I will continue to support improving public safety resources to ensure our quality of life. During my terms on the Council, we have seen the renovation of Pompei Park, construction of the Mauna Loa dog park, redevelopment of Route 66, our downtown Village, and the creation of the Diamond Ridge center, all adding to our retail, dining and entertainment possibilities. I will continue to support housing options allowing young families to realize the American dream of home ownership. With the support of the council, we have aggressively sought to protect our foothills by working to acquire nearly 400 acres of hillside property and donating it back to the Glendora Conservancy as permanent open space that will never be developed. I’m respectfully asking for your vote on March 7, 2017, so I can continue helping keep Glendora the great community we all live, work and play in.”
