The past several months have been an extraordinary journey of connection and community engagement for me. Each encounter with residents and voters were filled with genuine conversations.

I am very proud of the campaign we ran with honesty, integrity and a genuine care for the future of our City. I want to thank my campaign chairs, committee members, and the dedicated individuals who wholeheartedly supported a shared vision. Special thanks to those who graciously opened their homes and businesses to me and my supporters for multiple campaign events.

Congratulations to Craig and Mary on your election to the City Council, and congratulations to all the candidates who participated.

As I look ahead, I am filled with a sense of purpose to continue serving Beverly Hills, a place I have proudly called home for over four decades.

Thank you,

Alissa Roston

  • Trusted by Former Mayor of Beverly Hills, Robert Wunderlich

    “Why do I encourage you to join me in supporting Alissa for City Council? She is exceptionally well-qualified – City Commissioner, BHUSD School Board and finance professional – and has proven her dedication to the community as Rotary President, Trustee of Temple Emanuel, and Trustee of Pitzer College. But that is just the starting point – necessary, but not sufficient. More important for me are her judgment, integrity, and collaborative approach. City Council will have major impacts on our lives, in ways both expected and unexpected. As someone who has known Alissa for decades, I want Alissa to be there, trusting her to make reasoned decisions on behalf our community”

Key Issues

  • Community safety is a top priority for Alissa. She aims to address smash-and-grab and property crimes by advocating to enhance the utilization of technology. With two new Metro stops, Beverly Hills must prepare itself for a daily influx of visitors, including tourists, employees and transit riders. Preparation includes having a Beverly Hills Police substation at the LA Cienega Metro stop and a presence at the Rodeo Drive stop. Beverly Hills must continue to fully resource our police and fire departments while requiring training to meet community standards.

  • Alissa firmly believes that transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of a financially sound City. If elected, she plans to take a close look at outsourced contracts, vendor agreements, external expenditures, check spending and mandate accountability with vendors and contractors. She will also advocate for the creation of a Vendor Oversight Committee to review and respond to resident and business inquiries about the City’s contracting process.

  • Alissa is keenly aware of the impact of state mandates on housing and transportation in our City. She will prioritize the modernization of planning, transportation, and infrastructure policies that align with our community’s standards and interests. We must ensure retail space is filled, that our transportation network meets future demands, that our streets are walkable and that our policies protect our environment.
