Seven Candidates. Two Seats. Voting Closes at 5.

Seven candidates are seeking two seats on LARMAC’s Board of Directors. For eligible members who have been meaning to read the statements, find their credentials, or finish voting, the deadline is today at 5 p.m. Pacific.

The candidates, listed alphabetically by surname, are:

• Neil Anderson
• Chris Carter
• Jenny Granero
• Jeff Moll
• Kurt Randle
• Spencer Ririe
• Ryan Vallone

Their official statements are available through the election materials and voting portal. Read each one before making a selection. Familiarity from a neighborhood discussion is a useful starting point; a candidate’s stated priorities and qualifications deserve their own attention.

Read for the decisions ahead

LARMAC’s work reaches into ordinary neighborhood life: landscaping, maintenance, amenities, architectural standards, vendor contracts, and the use of assessment dollars.

That makes board service consequential even when its daily work attracts little attention. Residents may notice the result of a decision long before they encounter the budget, contract, or discussion behind it.

When reviewing the statements, consider how each candidate would approach that responsibility.

Look for specific priorities. Which problems does the candidate identify? What changes are proposed, and how would residents know whether those changes had worked?

Look for financial judgment. Community improvements involve costs. How would the candidate weigh new initiatives against maintenance needs, reserves, and other obligations?

Look for an approach to disagreement. Residents hold different views about landscaping practices, environmental concerns, spending, and community standards. Directors need to evaluate evidence and explain decisions to people who may remain unconvinced.

Look for accountability. What would homeowners be able to learn about decisions, progress, and setbacks between elections?

These questions apply to every candidate, including those with previous board experience and those seeking a first term.

Give every statement a fair reading

Some candidates have been more visible in recent public discussions than others. That visibility can help residents understand an issue, but it does not provide a complete comparison of the ballot.

The official statements give each candidate a place to describe their experience and intended approach. Read the full set, then decide whose judgment and priorities best match what you want from the board.
