ESCONDIDO —- A group representing the city’s 7,000-resident mobile-home community has endorsed Jim Crone and Richard Barron in this fall’s race for Escondido City Council.
Members of the group, the Coalition of Escondido Mobile/Manufactured Home Voters, said in a news release that they believe Crone and Barron are the best possible choices among the crowded field, which also includes incumbent Marie Waldron, former Councilman Ed Gallo, Carmen Miranda, Jason Everitt, Matthew Herold and Adam Brooks.
“Crone and Barron not only have a deep concern for Escondido, but each understands the issues facing mobile/manufactured home owners and each has personal connections with park residents, ” the new release said.
The two candidates who receive the most votes Nov. 2 will win four-year terms on the council.
Candidate interviews were conducted by 90 members of the mobile home group, representing 11 of the city’s 23 mobile home parks.
Previously, the mobile home group endorsed former Councilman Tom D’Agosta for mayor over incumbent Councilmen Dick Daniels and Sam Abed.
