Only ONE candidate - Jayme Wilson - has DELIVERED jobs to our local community!"

"Mass layoffs on rise in South Bay again" This is the headline in Friday, October 7, Daily Breeze... the priority for the District 15 City Council election continues to be - jobs, jobs, jobs. All of the candidate promise to "develop and create" jobs for our community - these are campaign promises. Only ONE candidate - Jayme Wilson - has DELIVERED jobs to our local community. Jayme Wilson, through his multi-business efforts in our community, has delivered 100's of jobs - local jobs for local people. This is not a campaign promise - this is a FACT.

Jayme Wilson is a thoughtful candidate with a vision for the future, and most importantly - a solid track-record of actually getting things done. He has had years of experience as a businessman and community leader and knows how to create jobs and balance budgets.

"I'm consistently impressed with Jayme's knowledge of the inner workings of City government..."

During the 5+ years that I've known Jayme I've been consistently impressed by his knowledge of the inner workings of City government, the Port, and other public agencies; in his ability to get to core of issues quickly and run a meeting that accomplishes much; by his patience and kindness in listening to other's viewpoints (even the unique, narrowly focused voices); by his dedication to not just a few issues but the broad scope of civic matters; and last but not least, by his obviously great heart! I wholeheartedly support his candidacy, and thank him for his decision to take on Council District 15!

"Jayme is what we need to keep moving in a positive direction..."

Jayme Wilson is a unique candidate. He doesn't need a new job or career; he is simply tired of "business as usual" at City Hall, and the dysfunction it creates for our communities. Jayme has worked tirelessly for many years with numerous community groups. He is the change agent we need to keep moving in a positive direction for the Harbor Area and indeed, the Greater Los Angeles Area. Although Jayme is not one to call attention to himself, I have found him over the years to be a thoughtful and considerate leader. He listens to others and cares about the community. Please vote for Jayme, and encourage your friends and family to do so as well!

"I am proud to support Jayme Wilson for City Council!"

As a proud parent of a Port of Los Angeles High School (POLAHS) student, I am thankful for Jayme's passion, commitment and vision he had to bring POLAHS to this community. POLAHS began with a few courageous community leaders, parents and students, all looking for educational alternatives in our community. What started out as a brave idea, has now become an institution of higher learning, recently being named a California Distinguished School! I am proud of the accomplishments made by POLAHS, I am proud to have a student attending POLAHS, and I am proud to support Jayme Wilson for City Council.

"Jayme does what he says he is going to do."

I have worked side-by-side with Jayme Wilson on the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for 10 years. His vision and leadership as our President is the reason for much of the development we've seen our community the last decade. What I have been most impressed with is his follow-through. Whether it's making a call, organizing a committee, writing a check to a non-profit, or taking an issue to City Hall - Jayme does what he says he is going to do. And he succeeds. He possesses a seasoned grasp of our regional issues, and is a rare breed of problem-solver. Due to all of his experience - he just understands, and he treats everyone the same. I am so happy to know that Jayme has chosen to run for this office, and he has my enthusiastic support.

"Jayme has been an effective and influential leader..."

Jayme has been an effective and influential leader in the Harbor Area for many years. I met him while Chamber President, and he was President of a newly formed board that was building support to open a Charter High School in San Pedro. His vision has been realized, and this school has improved the lives of entire families, as well as changed the shape of this community. From the world-class education we deliver, to the scores of jobs that have been created, Jayme Wilson's hard work has come full circle. I'm not sure who else could have accomplished this task. This is what I call leadership in action, and is exactly what we need for the whole of the 15th Council District.

"Jayme Wilson has my support for City Council 15!"

I have enjoyed working for Jayme and seeing all that he does for San Pedro and around the Ports O' Call Village. He gave me my first job 4 years ago. I now work at all 3 of his businesses - Boardwalk Cafe, Spirit Cruises and Ports O' Call Waterfront Dining. I value the skills I've developed here, and opportunities he has given me and my brother Jackson, who just started working for him this year. For all these reasons, Jayme Wilson has my support for City Council 15th.

"I support Jayme Wilson for City Council!"

My father was the first to work at Ports O' Call. I followed him, and have been with the restaurant for 36 years. My uncle, cousin and all of my 4 children have been employed by this organization at some time or another. I even met my wife at table C-4! This place is a part of my life. It's like family, and I am always happy to be here. Jayme Wilson has made it possible for all of this to be around for everyone to enjoy. These jobs have made a big difference to my family over the years.

"Jayme has been a force to help commercial development..."

Over the last twenty years, Jayme has been a force to help commercial development in San Pedro. His commitment to providing solutions should stand him in good stead as a councilman for the 15 District. As President of the San Pedro Arts Association, I also appreciate Jayme's generous support of our storefront in the Ports O' Call Village. By providing this venue, our artists enjoy the opportunity to sell their goods, and the inspiration to continue to produce. This vital link to the community would not be possible without the vision that Jayme Wilson brings to everything he does.

"I support Jayme Wilson for City Council!"

Through my employment at Ports O' Call I've gained knowledge and experience that have and will continue to create many opportunities for my future. With business as my major, I see Jayme Wilson as my employer, and mentor as well. The fact that this is a family organization is something I highly appreciate; along with the many families he employees in our community such as my uncle Fernando Padilla, who is the sous chef here at POC. That is why I support Jayme Wilson for City Council.

"Jayme Wilson has saved hundreds of jobs..."

Jayme Wilson has saved Ports O' Call Waterfront Dining and the Village - along with hundreds of jobs that provide the backbone for numerous families and communities. He is an agent for transformation in the Harbor Area. Because of his working knowledge of what makes business work; he will do the same for all of the 15th District. To me, he IS Mr. San Pedro. Jayme always has, and will continue to get it done!
