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.
