Our Neighborhood Voices: Endorses Michele Carbone for RPV City Council

Michele Carbone’s endorsement by Our Neighborhood Voices (ONV) reflects a strong alignment around local control, responsible development, and protecting the character of Rancho Palos Verdes neighborhoods.

As an ONV board member for more than five years, Michele has actively championed the organization’s efforts to restore local authority over zoning and land-use decisions. ONV advocates for a community-driven approach that recognizes each city’s unique needs rather than relying on one-size-fits-all state housing mandates.

Michele’s priorities align with this mission through her commitment to preserving RPV’s neighborhood character, supporting thoughtful housing decisions, and ensuring that local residents have a meaningful voice in their community’s future. Her longstanding leadership with ONV demonstrates that this is not simply a campaign position, but an issue she has worked on for years.

Why the endorsement matters: Michele brings both a sustained record of advocacy and a deep understanding of the local-control movement. Her experience positions her to represent RPV’s interests and advocate for local decision-making as the city navigates California’s evolving housing and land-use requirements.
