About John Dade:

John Dade has been a Buena Park resident for over 30 years. He and his wife Lydia, who was born and raised in Buena Park, have watched the city grow into the entertainment destination it is today.  

John has also watched as Buena Park stumbled and lost its way. John believes it is time to get involved and help Buena Park regain its vision and position as the Center of the Southland.

Community-First Values

Individual Rights at the Heart of Governance

The Buena Park City Council has a significant accountability to voters to represent the People’s interests. Policy actions and enforcement thereof must be guided by understanding of effects on the daily lives of citizens both socially and economically. Accountability is essential for building trust between government and citizens and maintaining democracy.

As a City Council member, John Dade will be responsive to the needs and concerns of Buena Park constituents and provide regular updates on progress towards achieving policy priorities. When governments are accountable, citizens have the opportunity to participate in meaningful ways in shaping their society. John Dade will work to ensure that all voices are heard and elected officials are held responsible to justify decisions in the context of community benefit and individual freedoms.

“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.” Justice Louis Brandeis.

Your Voice for Buena Park

Public Safety

Law enforcement men and women must have the tools needed to address the issues of crime, traffic, and homelessness in our city while keeping Buena Park safe for all residents.

Government Accountability

Government officials answer to The People. All newly proposed projects for the city must be evaluated in terms of impact on city revenues and on the people of Buena Park.

Economic Growth

Attracting more businesses to our city will bring more jobs and better jobs to our city and give leaders the resources to reinvest in much needed infrastructure, parks, and community health resources.
