Why We Support Sylvia
Letters of Support for Sylvia Munoz Schnopp for City Council:
"It is my distinct pleasure to endorse my good friend Sylvia Muñoz Schnopp for Camarillo City Council, District 1. I have known Sylvia for more than two decades. It started with Sylvia attending an economics class that I was teaching in the MBA Program at California Lutheran University. Economics is a subject that brings students to become engaged in critical thinking and deductive reasoning about a variety of regional, national and global social and economic issues and challenges. What distinct her from many others in her class was her passion to pursue the in-class discussion and debates to public policy matters impacting the wellbeing of the community. She showed clear attention to seeing the big picture and present the pragmatic side of how our problems can be looked into and challenges can be solved. I said this before and say it again that I suggested to her that she should enter politics and run for the city council. I was unaware that she may be listening to my advice much closer than I could possibly imagine at the time.
Sylvia is an experienced public servant and served consecutive terms as a council member in the City of Port Hueneme. The experience that she will be bringing to the city council of Camarillo, when elected, makes voting for her a great investment for the betterment of the city and what she will be standing for. City of Camarillo enjoys many privileges of an affluent community together with many socio-economic challenges, which are common to all similar communities in Southern California. Sylvia has the knowledge and the professional experience of seeing the core of the challenges, ability to look for pragmatic solution, vision of framing the issues in the bigger picture, arts of building bridges between various groups and the humanity of looking for the common good in every issue brought to the attention of the council. These are remarkable aptitude and often rare insights that voters can find in Sylvia. I endorse her candidacy and urge you to vote for my good friend, Sylvia Muñoz Schnopp for Camarillo City Council, District 1. "

“I know Sylvia through our church. She is a straight forward, hardworking, honest person who will have the best interests of Camarillo residents as a City Councilmember. She has integrity and will stand up against any special interests that do not have the safety and well-being of Camarillo at heart. She will support our police and work to ensure Camarillo stays a beautiful small-town community as it’s the reason most of us moved here in the first place. I wholeheartedly endorse Sylvia for City Council.” –Retired Judge Mitch Mays
“We are privileged to endorse Sylvia Munoz Schnopp for Camarillo City Council. She will develop and implement concepts based on solid morals and worldwide views.” – Calvin and Yong Matsui
“She cares a great deal about people and fair government, and will always tell you the truth. I highly recommend her for councilwoman and Camarillo will be very lucky to have her service.” – Lynn Mays
“Sylvia has been a fighter for the region for years. She makes decisions based on facts and not on emotions. She has worked for Camarillo in the private sector for years and understands the needs of the community and businesses. She will serve the district and Camarillo well.” – Daniel Chavez Jr.
“Sylvia shows great leadership no matter what the situation. She is a hard worker and passionate for the people she serves.” – Karla Stark
“There was a time when character mattered. When perseverance, tenacity and grit were admired. Lately, it seems that our political process has fallen apart. But despite that rubble, Sylvia embodies all these virtues and more. Sometimes when it comes to politics, charisma has a negative connotation. In our book, Sylvia has a different type of charisma. When you speak to her, you are the only one she cares about. She cares for her community, her country, for you and the well-being of all. She is the type of leader we need. We are honored to personally know and endorse Sylvia Munoz Schnopp for Camarillo City Council.” – Delia and Ara Grigorian, USA Today Bestselling Novelist
"I had the pleasure of working with Sylvia Munoz Schnopp for a few years. She has a can-do, go-getter attitude. She is a finisher, meaning she sees projects from the start to finish. Sylvia is passionate about others and her community. She is not afraid to ask hard questions to seek the truth. She is not selfish. She looks through other's perspectives too. She is educated and experience. I've been fortunate to grow professionally with her and build a personal relationship. Sylvia Munoz Schnopp will be an asset to Camarillo City Council." - Pamela Adams, Community Organizer, Social Media
