Evelina’s Platform
A Safer, Stronger, and More United Glendale
Glendale is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in California. It is a place built by hardworking families and small businesses who deserve a City Hall that puts them first.
Evelina Sarian is running to bring independent, residents-first leadership that listens, brings people together, and delivers real results. Evelina believes the best solutions come from working with residents, not around them, by uniting neighborhoods, businesses, and community voices to move Glendale forward together.
Public Safety & Neighborhood Quality of Life First
Glendale families deserve to feel safe in their homes, on their streets, and throughout their neighborhoods.
- Strengthen police and fire resources to keep Glendale among the safest cities in California.
- Expand wildfire prevention, preparedness, and emergency response, especially in hillside areas.
- Crack down on reckless driving, speeding, and illegal street activity.
- Invest in smart technology to improve emergency response times and public safety coordination.
- Improve neighborhood services including code enforcement, cleanliness, and responsiveness.
- Work closely with residents to quickly address quality-of-life concerns block by block.
Responsible Growth That Protects Glendale’s Character
Glendale must plan for the future and growth must be thoughtful, balanced, and community-driven.
- Protect the character of residential neighborhoods while meeting state housing requirements responsibly.
- Ensure new development includes infrastructure, parking, and traffic solutions.
- Prioritize “smart growth” that enhances, not overwhelms the community.
- Preserve Glendale’s unique identity while planning for future generations.
- Give residents a stronger voice in development decisions.
Support Small Businesses & Strengthen Our Local Economy
Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and they deserve a City Hall that works with them, not against them.
- Cut red tape, modernize and streamline the permitting process, and provide free permit expeditor support for small businesses and residents so businesses can open and grow faster, and homeowners can complete improvements without unnecessary delays.
- Establish a dedicated Glendale Business Team to partner with the local business community by delivering faster approvals, hands-on support, and proactive solutions that help businesses grow while generating new, sustainable revenue for the City.
- Attract new industries and quality jobs to strengthen the local economy.
- Ensure responsible budgeting so Glendale maintains strong services without new taxes.
A Cleaner, Greener, and More Family-Friendly Glendale
Every family deserves a city that is clean, welcoming, and built for everyday life.
- Invest in parks, trees, and public spaces.
- Expand programs for youth, seniors, and families.
- Improve streets, sidewalks, cleanliness, and neighborhood infrastructure.
- Promote sustainability while ensuring practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Create safer, more walkable neighborhoods that enhance quality of life.
A Residents-First City Hall that Unites Glendale
Glendale doesn’t need more division, it needs leadership that brings people together to listen, respond, and delivers results.
- Deliver responsive, accessible constituent services.
- Ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency at City Hall.
- Unite Glendale’s diverse communities around shared goals.
- Foster collaboration between neighborhoods, businesses, and city leadership.
- Focus on practical results, not political agendas.
Evelina Sarian represents a new generation of leadership rooted in putting residents first, focused on results, and committed to unity.
With a clear focus on public safety, responsible growth, economic strength, and neighborhood quality of life, Evelina will work every day to ensure Glendale remains a city where families feel safe, residents are heard, businesses can thrive, and communities stay strong.
