Westlake Village and LVUSD Elections: Resources

Westlake Village has an upcoming election for City Council members. There are two seats up for election including the one that currently is vacant after Philippa Klessig resigned. There are three candidates running (in alphabetical order): Bill Kehaly, Kelly Honig and Ned Davis. The two candidates that get the most votes, win the seats.

Unlike prior years, Westlake Revelations will not be doing a candidate forum (aka “debate”) this year. But there are some additional resources that can help you make your decision. We encourage you to find out what each candidate is about, ask questions to determine both their credibility level as well as whether their goals meet yours, and in general, make as informed a decision as you can.
