Torrance Real Estate Broker Aurelio Mattucci announced today that he will most likely run again in 2016

Torrance Real Estate Broker Aurelio Mattucci announced today that he will most likely run again in 2016.
The election of June 3, 2014 proved to be a learning experience for Aurelio Mattucci.  His bid for a Torrance City Council seat yielded only 3,750 votes, not nearly enough to win a seat on Council. 
Campaigning is difficult, especially when you are not backed by big money Unions or Corporations.  The results are in the hands of the voters, but they always seem to levitate towards the candidates with the most money and backing.  In other words, you can't win an election without high power endorsements and money.
Proven point.  The four highest vote getters had all the backing and money.

Tough Talk for Torrance Candidate

Torrance City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci has always been a hands on individual willing to take action. One of Mattucci’s campaign concerns is the “curb appeal” of Torrance and working to preserve and promote the beauty of our South Bay city. According to a recent statement on his campaign website, Mattucci is even ready to repave neglected streets with his own two hands.

“If elected, I will push for a plan that would take care of the most effected areas first. The areas that have been abandoned by City Hall will get their streets repaved if I have to go out and shovel tar myself.” wrote Mattucci. Chances are, he means it.

For the past three years, Aurelio has spearheaded The Mattucci Project, an all volunteer organization that cleans up yards and sidewalks for homes or businesses that are unable to do so. The Mattucci Project volunteers clear away brush and debris, trim overgrowth, pull weeds and cart away trash. With a focus on locations where the owner is financially or physically incapable of managing a property’s maintenance alone, the Mattucci Project will provide their invaluable time and energy to anyone in need.  

Mattucci is taking City Hall to task on this issue of caring for our streets, calling for an end to the “5 year plan” excuse. “No more empty promises,” says Mattucci, “…stop telling us, ‘There's No Money’. The money is there if we use our money on PRIORITIES. If you want things to change, the voters need to cut the chains that connect us to current and past administrations and get off to a fresh start.” Mattucci pledges to be a “hands on candidate that will get things done.” Given that he already has a proven track record of not being afraid to do the actual dirty work himself, voters can believe that when Mattucci says he will get something done, it gets done.

Important Election for California & Torrance on June 3rd


Make sure you know where to vote for Torrance City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci.
The Los Angeles County Registrar’s office has made it easy to find your polling place and see a sample ballot at any time before the June 3rd election.

The June 3rd election covers several key races for the City of Torrance and primaries for the State of California. This is a crucial election day since the ballots are consolidated to include primary nomination voting for the state’s highest offices and general election final selections for local city offices. This means there is another general election day November 4th to choose between the top two candidates for statewide offices. Local city contests, however, will be decided on June 3rd. In other words, June 3rd is your only chance to vote for Aurelio Mattucci for Torrance City Council! Don’t miss the opportunity to make a choice that supports the future of Torrance business and families.

The races that will be decided on June 3rd are:
  • County Board of Supervisors Sheriff
  • Assessor
  • Superior Court Judge

  • Secretary of State
  • Controller
  • Treasurer
  • Attorney General
  • Insurance Commissioner Board of Equalization
  • United States Representative State Senator

In 2010, California voters decided on a new “Top Two” primary system. This new system puts all candidates on every ballot regardless of political party affiliation. Any voter can vote for any candidate from any party. The candidates receiving the two highest number of votes in each race will move on to the November General Election. This can mean that there may even be two candidates from the same party vying for the same office. The “Top Two” system puts more power in the hands of voters, because the nominations are truly decided by the voters and not the parties. In a state like California where there are several prominent political parties, this new system allows for a wider freedom to choose the candidate that best represents your concerns.

City Council elections are not defined by partisan affiliations.

Torrance City Council Candidate

Many concerned Torrance voters are probably asking, “Who should I vote for in the June 3rd Torrance election?” “What are the most important qualities in an outstanding City Councilperson?” Given recent abuses of power in nearby cities like Bell, one major concern when electing any city official is, “Do they have the city’s best interests at heart?” “How will my city councilperson handle the financial responsibility?”

For one Torrance City Council candidate, responsible budgeting practices is a huge priority.  Aurelio Mattucci believes in a conservative approach to spending that prioritizes necessity over popularity. With an eye on the future impact of today’s budgeting decisions, Mattucci will “make sure the tax payers are also in the decision process and not unilaterally make decisions that benefit a few and burden all.” 

Responsible budgeting also falls in line with Mattucci’s additional concerns of public safetyeducation and maintaining the beauty of Torrance. When all of these areas are well managed, Mattucci hopes that new businesses will be attracted to set up shop in Torrance and that the businesses already here will have the opportunity to thrive and not just survive. He has created a significant business plan to support local business interests and promote prosperity.

By focusing spending on the police department to keep our families safe, on our schools to ensure our children have the best advantages for a successful future and helping businesses to become and stay successful here, Torrance City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci is the candidate who will really take care of Torrance's needs.

Who Is the Best Candidate for Torrance City Council?

Torrance, California is an ideal community to raise a safe, healthy, happy family. No one knows this better than City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci. His family planted his Southern California roots by moving here when he was just six years old. Mattucci is now further strengthening those roots by raising his own children here in Torrance.

It’s clear to see that strong family ties are important to Aurelio Mattucci just by looking at what he stands for.  Public Safety and Education are at the top of Mattucci’s list of priorities for improving and maintaining the quality of life in Torrance.

If we can't feel safe in our own neighborhoods we will live in fear.  I am a strong supporter of our local Police Department and I will always strive to insure the safety of our community,” Mattucci says on his campaign website. He also advocates for community involvement, with neighbors getting involved to look out for each other to prevent crime before it happens and landlords stepping up to provide well-lit and secure properties.

It could be argued that the very first step in preventing crime begins with a strong education in a safe and effective school. Mattucci is a strong proponent of community involvement in the Torrance Unified School District as well to work toward the goal of having the best possible schools for our children.  When elected, Mattucci plans to promote more programs for kids and parents and making sure that taxpayers have a say in where there money gets allocated. Furthering community involvement, Mattucci recommends community volunteerism and private sponsorships.  Mattucci believes parents should be able to pick up a paintbrush to improve a classroom and approved companies should be able to donate for improvement and construction projects as corporate benefactors.

For candidate Aurelio Mattucci, he’s not seeking election for personal gain. For him, it’s about getting his hands in the soil to tend to the roots of the city as a whole, providing a beautiful and rewarding life for all families and businesses. There is real action behind his words which can be seen through his all-volunteer organization, The Mattucci Project, which comes to residences or businesses in need to remove trash, debris and weeds, trim overgrowth and offer educational resources for those who may be struggling to maintain a property. 


These are just a few reasons why Aurelio Mattucci is the best choice for Torrance City Council.

Torrance and Toyota No Longer Doing Business

By now most Torrance residents have probably heard the bad news. Toyota is packing up and moving to Texas, taking upwards of 5,000 jobs with them. There is no official word yet on how many workers will be asked to relocate or possibly be laid off although some reports have said 3,000 jobs are moving to the company’s planned new headquarters in Suburban Dallas. The complete departure will not happen overnight and will take several years to fully execute. Although it’s a blow to Southern California, the move makes perfect sense for the international auto-maker.

When Toyota first set up shop in the U.S. in the early 1950s, California was the perfect location. Being a coastal city on the Pacific Ocean, Torrance and So-Cal were the closest ports to Japan. Shipping cars and parts the shortest distance for U.S. distribution was a logical business choice. Today, however, Toyota has manufacturing plants in Mississippi, Kentucky and Texas. There is no longer the same need for major importing and being headquartered close to manufacturing is basically a no-brainer. In addition, Texas offers things California doesn’t - tax breaks, less regulation and a cheaper, easier place to do business.

According to Torrance Mayor, Frank Scotto, both New York state and Texas have actively pursued major California corporations through significant financial incentives for relocation.

"When any major corporation is courted by another state, it's very difficult to combat that," Scotto said after Monday's surprise announcement of the move. "We don't have the tools we need to keep major corporations here.” Workers' compensation and liability insurance are just some of the expenses businesses must bear that are higher in California.

"A company can easily see where it would benefit by relocating someplace else," Scotto said.

So, where does this leave Torrance in the future? The upcoming June election now carries more weight than ever, with the need to place forward thinking pro-business (large and small) candidates in office. City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci is one candidate who has his eye on this issue with plans to keep businesses in Torrance and to foster new opportunities for economic growth.

“We need to fill up our commercial vacancies by offering new businesses true incentives and help out our many existing and loyal small businesses succeed and not just survive. We need to be a truly business friendly city and not just say we are. We also need to streamline permits and plan check process to encourage new growth,” says Mattucci.

With the largest employer in the city pulling up roots, having city leadership that is focused on planting them is more important than ever. Learn more about City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci at www.VoteforMattucci.com.

Register to Vote for Torrance Election

It’s not too late to register to vote for the June 3rd election day.  The deadline to register is May 19, 2014 and can be done on-line or by mail. There are many easy ways to register. Voter registration forms are available at local libraries and post offices or call 1-800-345-8783 to have one mailed to you. Registration forms submitted by mail must be postmarked by May 19. Register online at www.registertovote.ca.gov.
The June 3rd election is an important one for Californians. Local elections, such as for Torrance City Council and Mayor, will be held as well as primaries for the offices representing the entire state.
Primaries will be held for:
* Governor
* Lieutenant Governor
* Secretary of State
* Controller
* Treasurer
* Attorney General
* Insurance Commissioner
* Superintendent of Public Instruction
* Representatives for U.S. Congress
* State Senator (even numbered districts)
* State Assembly
* State Board of Equalization

Many voters may not be aware of new changes to the way California primaries now work. In 2012, California adopted a “Top Two” system. The main change from the previous system is that the candidates with the two highest number of votes will advance to run against each other in November. This can mean that the final two winners may even be from the same party. Voters will see all candidates for office and are able to select any candidate no matter what their political party affiliation.

June’s ballot will also include two propositions, 41 and 42. Proposition 41 “Bonds for Veterans’ Housing and Homeless Prevention” would allow the state to sell state bonds to pay for housing for low-income or homeless veterans. The fund from bond sales would go toward affordable multi-family residences and apartment complexes, which would include support programs and services.  Proposition 42 “Public Records. Open Meetings. State and Local Governments.” would shift the responsibility of paying for complying with the Public Records Act to local governments. It would also add requiring local governments to obey the Public Records and Brown Act to the California Constitution.

City of Torrance needs new blood on City Council

City of Torrance needs new blood on City Council.

I am concerned at the fact that Mayor Frank Scotto is pushing his "Fantastic Four" team into office with teeth and nails.  I just can't understand why he couldn't just endorse them and move on with his life.  Instead he is trying to steamroll all the other candidates, so his people can make it to power.  Is this because termed out Mayor Scotto wants to retain power within city hall?  Is it because the Mayor will need majority vote to get his tow contracts back.  Is it because the Mayor is having a hard time letting go of his power within the city?  Maybe it's all of the above and on one hand I can see why he would feel that way, but on the other I think it's bad that he will be dictating orders to his people long after he stepped down from office.  I say Torrance needs some new blood.  Individuals that are truly Independent candidates and that owe no political favors to anyone.
I am that candidate.
Vote Aurelio Mattucci for Torrance City Council come June 3rd 2014

What Does the Torrance City Council Do?

What does the Torrance City Council do and how does its work affect you?

As a Charter City, Torrance is governed by a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council consists of the Mayor and six City Council members. The Mayor and Council members are elected at large by registered voters of the City and each serve a four-year term. Elections are held every two years, on the even year.

Unlike some cities, such as Los Angeles, that have three or more or even no term limits, the City of Torrance has a two term limit for Council and Mayoral positions. Setting these kinds of term limits is one effective way to prevent corruption and stagnation due to career politicians holding office for decades or more.  With an eight year total for a single position, Torrance voters are able to ensure that their elected representatives, such as City Council candidate Aurelio Mattucci, will truly hold the best interests of the city and its residents at the forefront of the decision making process. Mattucci is a shining example of a long-term resident who deeply cares about his home town and its future.

In this type of Council/Manager form of government, the City Council carries a number of significant responsibilities that directly affect residents. They are responsible for:

* Adopting Legislation 
* Setting Policy 
* Adjudicating Issues 
* Establishing the Budget of the City. 

One of the Council’s most important duties is creating and managing the City’s budget, which is also one of the primary issues Aurelio Mattucci stands for.  Mattucci is concerned with planning a budget with a mind for the future because, “years from now we will have to deal with the decisions of today.”  When elected, he will take a conservative approach to spending, prioritizing expenditures by “necessity not popularity.”

Other functions of The City Council are to appoint the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager acts as the administering head of the government and works closely with the Council to implement policy and laws. In the capacity of their offices, Council members and the Mayor may serve as representatives on intergovernmental and regional boards, commissions and committees. The Council will also appoint volunteers to serve on various advisory boards, commissions and committees. 

In a spirit of transparency and accountability, Council members and the Mayor are directly accountable to the electorate. In their work, they must constantly weigh the interests of individuals and groups with the needs of the entire community. For a candidate like Aurelio Mattucci, that is just what he plans to do when serving the city of Torrance that he has loved for over 30 years.

The Council meets every Tuesday in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 3031 Torrance Boulevard, unless specifically adjourned to another time or place. Regular business generally starts at 7:00 p.m., unless otherwise publicly noticed.  Closed door Executive Sessions may occasionally convene, as authorized under the Ralph M. Brown Act, at 5:30 p.m.

Aspel’s show covers South Bay issues, news & views, featuring heart warming and humorous interviews with South Bay locals from all walks of life.

Aspel is an enthusiastic supporter of Aurelio Mattucci and had this to say about Tuesday’s conversation with the candidate, “I had the pleasure of spending some time interviewing Aurelio Mattucci on HealthyLife.net! Many of you Redondo Beach people will know the Mattucci name as the famous tailor located on PCH. I have always considered the Mattucci's as one of the first families of Redondo Beach! But Aurelio is a Torrance guy! He's a cool family guy, Realtor, philanthropist and has MY endorsement for Torrance City Council.”

Aurelio Mattucci Shares Thoughts on Education & More at South High School

Meet Torrance City Council candidate, Aurelio Mattucci this Wednesday, April 2nd at South High School. The open forum event will take place in the South High School cafeteria at 4801 Pacific Coast Highway, starting at 7:00 pm.

Come out to this event to learn more about Mattucci’s platform, which centers around four basic issues. These are concerns that all cities face but are too often neglected.  As the next member of the Torrance City Council Mattucci will focus his energy on:
  • Public Safety
  • Education
  • Budget
  • Curb Appeal

Mattucci believes in a hands-on approach to all of these issues that includes community involvement and volunteerism. The neighborhoods and schools belong to the residents of Torrance and we are all responsible for making them the safest, most beautiful and most efficient they can be. The more that residents support public safety, police and fire departments, form neighborhood watch programs and pick up a paint brush to improve school facilities, the more the whole city can thrive. Everyone wants to feel safe and we can all contribute.

Aurelio Mattucci will also work toward responsible budgeting that plans for today and tomorrow.  “I want to make sure our City takes a conservative approach to spending and prioritizes expenditures by necessity not popularity.”  At the same time, Mattucci still wants that all important community involvement with allocating funds for education and other necessary services that any city oversees. “The tax payers should be in control of where the funds go on all levels,” says Mattucci.

As a real estate broker, Aurelio Mattucci also understands the very real importance of curb appeal. It’s that element of delight when pulling up to a location that is inviting and exciting. Curb appeal makes a prospective home or business owner want to take a closer look and to make the crucial decision of whether or not to call a place home. Drawing new residents and businesses to Torrance is an all important factor in the future growth and prosperity of the city as a whole. But if buildings are abandoned, sidewalks are cracked and cluttered with weeds and streets are deteriorating, that inviting and exciting feeling will never flourish. Mattucci will work toward planting trees, removing concrete and beautifying the City of Torrance with the help and support of its residents.  This is your home and when you come home, it should feel like home.

Show your support for public safety, education, budget control and curb appeal when you meet City Council Candidate Aurelio Mattucci at any of these upcoming events.

April 2nd 7:00 pm - South High Cafeteria 
April 3rd 7:00 pm - Nakano Theater Torrance

I have a question.  Why would it be a good thing to have Mayor Frank Scotto endorse and promote four candidates?  I personally have not asked nor do I want the endorsement of any politician as to not owe any favors to anyone.  Mayor Frank Scotto has been putting a lot of effort in promoting his dream team and you can't help but wonder, WHY?
I am truly an Independent candidate that the only people he is indebted to is the voters of Torrance.  If you feel Torrance needs a fresh start, then I am your man.  If you feel you need a representative and not another political offspring, then I am your man.
Come June 3rd, you have the power to clean up city hall and elect individuals that will represent your best interest.
Vote Aurelio Mattucci, a true independent.

16 Candidates join Torrance City Council Race 2014

Amazing.  16 candidates have joined the race for Torrance City Council in the June 3rd election.  Candidate Aurelio Mattucci was one of the first to file their 501 form which gives public notice or intentions of running for office.  The race started early for some and some are barely starting.  Either way it will be a competitive race and as far as Mayoral candidates we have three,  Tom Brewer, Pat Furey and Bill Sutherland.  All of them currently serving as City Councilmembers.  Two of them are termed out (Sutherland and Brewer ).

Aurelio Mattucci Candidate for Torrance City Council.

Mission

Public safety and economic stability is among my priorities. I want the city to be fiscally responsible and do what it can to cut wasteful spending. I do believe in energy conservation and helping both home owners and businesses save money on utilities without imposing additional restrictions on them. I do believe we need to plant more trees in our residential neighborhoods and make our commercial areas more desirable to new business growth. We need to fill up our commercial vacancies by offering new businesses true incentives and help out our many existing and loyal small businesses succeed and not just survive. We need to be a truly business friendly city and not just say we are. We also need to streamline permits and plan check process to encourage new business. I do hope I can get your support and the support of your friends and family. I also want to help maintain and promote family unity and the safety of all the families that live in this wonderful city.

Description

I am a candidate for Torrance City Council. Running for office has been a long time dream of mine. I have never been more motivated in achieving this endeavor. I feel that in order to truly make positive changes in our city one must make them as a whole, work together and get involved at all levels. These are challenging times for us, as a country and as a city, with the redevelopment funds gone, we are facing the same fate as many other municipalities , loss of businesses that directly translate to less revenue for our city, loss of local jobs and more of our families living with financial instability and the risk of losing their homes. Less revenue for the city means the potential loss of many programs, services and activities that have helped shape Torrance throughout the years. It's not a matter of Right or Left, it's a matter of Right or Wrong. I will do what is Right for the people of Torrance. I will listen to your concerns and suggestions. I will be truly a public servant, serving the people of Torrance and the many businesses that help support and maintain this wonderful city that I am proud to say is my home.
