ABOUT KEN
Ken believes in equal rights for all and for equal representation. The day that Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court it became clear to him that it was time to take a more active role in our political system. He is a Southern California native and has called Orange County home for most of his life. He moved to Rancho Santa Margarita in 2005 and fell in love with our great city. He recently moved to Robinson Ranch, where he lives with his wife Marjan, who is Iranian-American, and their two dogs, Enzo & Rizzo. No matter your cultural background, sexual identification, gender, religious beliefs, or even what sports team you root for, we all deserve to be treated equally. There are many issues that face us today on a local level and it all starts with transparency. He is running to be the voice for the thousands of RSM residents who have not been represented by the largely unchanged city council for the last two decades.
