The Last Municipal Election to Elect Three City Council Members was held on November 8, 2022.

Three of our current Council Members (Michael Kemps, Victoria Lozzi, and David McGowan), were completing their 4 year terms and all three were re-elected.

PVrrg is continuing our service to the residents of PVE by publishing information about the candidates on this website as we did during the previous two elections. While it is PVrrg’s mission to provide information, PVrrg does not endorse any candidates. For more about PVrrg and who we are, click here.

Besides the photos, biographies, and positioning statements of the candidates, we have also published a list of answers to specific questions relating to important issues of concern in PVE that come from as many sources.

To help voters become more informed, PVrrg has assembled information on the issues and candidates for your consideration:

PVrrg Policy on Neutrality during Elections

The primary purpose of PVrrg is to provide PVE residents and members of our PVE City Government with factual information on local issues.

PVrrg’s policy during any election is to remain neutral or impartial. As an organization, PVrrg will not endorse or advocate for any candidates. However, individual members of PVrrg are free to exercise their First Amendment right to support any candidate as individuals.

During elections for City Council or the PVHA Board, PVrrg assembles information by

Obtaining information directly from the candidates for our website
Conducting public candidate forums during election campaigns and posting videos of those forums on our website

To ensure no one has an advantage, all communications between PVrrg and the candidates will be the same. All submissions collected from the candidates will be kept confidential until the publication date. Their unedited and complete submissions (adhering to word count limitations) will be posted on the website at the same time without exception.
