Gil Murillo Finalizes Filing, Set to Run for Antioch Mayors Seat

by ECT

Gil Murillo finalized his candidate filing with Antioch’s City Clerk’s office. Pending Contra Costa County final review, no doubt Gil is the fourth and final candidate for Mayor of Antioch.

Gil Murrilo’s statement:

I want to bring forth our voice to the City of Antioch. The problems that we face today are not new and we can bring other cities successful programs to Antioch. These programs have reduced crime, better schools, increased police staffing and make communities stronger.

I am not a politician but I WILL get things done with no excuses. I am entering this election for Mayor to bring our voices to City Hall and represent you with no ties or incentives from special interest groups or developers. You have the opportunity to elect someone with 20+ years of corporate experience whose only goal is serve the elected role and not be obligated to outside political interests.

It is my plan to bring our City:

  • Living wage job opportunities so you can work and live in the same city
  • Form a committee to bring county, city, police, social services and schools together on issues that impact our youth
  • Engage outside police agencies to assist in additional patrolling while we increase officer count
  • Define government housing plan that is based on the needs of the city and community
  • Ensure community services (e.g. fire, schools, police) are fully funded before new development starts
  • Enhance downtown Antioch with positive family theme events
  • Creative solutions to address the homeless challenge
  • Engage adjoining cities for a joint vision of tomorrow
