Candidate Statements
Scot Candell
- Larkspur City Council Member
- Transparency: “Larkspur is an incredible place to live, and my primary goal as a council member and currently as mayor has simply been to keep it incredible; to listen to all opinions and in the end do what is best for the city.”
- Infrastructure: “Larkspur needs leadership that can steer us through upcoming projects including City Hall renovations, a new library and community center, aging sewers in need of repair, an undersupply of affordable housing that we must increase responsibly, balancing our budget, and unifying our citizens instead of causing unnecessary divisions.”
- Equity: “Let’s continue to progress in a fair and equitable way that honors our past and embraces our future.”

- Housing: “I contributed to our transit-oriented housing plan, pushed for senior renter protections, helped keep our budget balanced, promoted public safety, supported small businesses during COVID and fought to reduce fentanyl drug use.”
- Emergency Preparedness: “I served as Larkspur Mayor in 2023 and have represented our city for five years on wildfire prevention, flood, energy and transportation regional boards.”
