Vanessa Springett A Fresh New Voice for Poway
A special message from Vanessa: a NEW VOICE for Poway Residents
I am running for City Council to bring needed change and fresh ideas to Poway. Over the past year, we’ve seen significant turmoil in our local government, making accountability and new perspectives essential. My campaign focuses on protecting Poway’s future by respecting the community’s vision for development. When voter-approved plans are ignored, trust is lost. It’s vital that growth aligns with residents’ expectations and preserves the unique character of our neighborhoods.
Poway has been my home for more than 50 years. I grew up in Green Valley, raised my family in Vineland Hills, and have remained active in District 2 and across the city. With over 30 years of service—including as President of the Vineland Hills HOA, Secretary of the Green Valley Civic Association, and Chair of the Poway Budget Review Committee—I have worked diligently with neighbors, schools, and youth groups to improve safety, expand amenities, and maintain what makes Poway special.
Holding a degree in Economics from UCLA, I am committed to responsible budgeting, transparency, and long-term financial stability for Poway.
As an Independent, my priority is always residents. I support increased setbacks and lower building heights along Poway Road and oppose large-scale commercial encroachment in neighborhoods. My campaign is dedicated to safeguarding Poway’s character and making decisions in the best interest of its people.
