Dear Friends and Supporters,

     My name is Jan Horton, councilwoman for the City of Yorba Linda. I ran because I care for Yorba Linda and I intend to preserve and protect the nature and character of the city we love.  I intend to put citizens FIRST and restore integrity and trust to our City Council

     I am a 21 year resident of Yorba Linda and have raised three children in this community. They attended Linda Vista Elementary, Yorba Linda Middle School and El Dorado High School. My husband Jim and I have been married 4 years. He has been a Yorba Linda resident for 27 years.

     I have a BS in Occupational Therapy from the University of Illinois and received my certification in Hand Therapy 10 years ago. I currently work for St. Jude Continuing Rehabilitation Center as the supervisor of the Hand and Industrial Rehabilitation Program .

    Professionally, I have held management level positions for many years. I have participated and founded multiple community support groups and professional education forums. I bring to the Yorba Linda City Council the ability to communicate well, solve problems, negotiate solutions, set goals, and organize and develop action plans to achieve these goals. I will treat individual citizens respectfully and be available to listen to their opinions.

     I have watched as our city has become overdeveloped with increased traffic issues and increasing crime. Progress and growth are a certainty but progress must be planned and meet the priorities of the people who live here. Infrastructure must be addressed as we continue to grow. Our Town Center must have a plan that encourages the existing small business owners to succeed while adding amenities that our community would enjoy; i.e. restaurants, book store, Cultural Art Center, park space.

With your support we will make Yorba Linda the best place to live!

Jan Horton
