General Election 2026

I'm a 25-year resident of Santa Monica, a husband, a father, and someone who cares deeply about our city. In 2001, I moved to Santa Monica and co-founded an investment firm headquartered near the Promenade that has since partnered with over 45 growing businesses, with a particular focus on healthcare and renewable energy. Over my 35-year career in investing and business management, I have served on more than 50 corporate boards, held CEO, COO, or CFO roles on more than 25 occasions, and managed organizations of all sizes.

Santa Monica is not just where I work-it is my home, the community where my wife and I are raising our family, and the place where I hope my children will choose to stay. It is also where I have proudly served the community through AYSO Region 20 as a board member, coach, referee, field manager, and commissioner.

I'm running with a specific mission: to restore Santa Monica's financial strength so that our city can be one of the most socioeconomically diverse, vibrant, and livable communities in America. My priorities are: fiscal transparency and long-term financial discipline, tourism and local businesses, homelessness, public safety, and housing. Visit www.doug4santamonica.com for more information.
