Allen Wayne Warren announced his candidacy today for Sacramento City Council, District 2, at a large community gathering held at Carol’s Books in Old North Sacramento.
In announcing his run for City Council, Warren was joined by his wife and three children, mother, extended family, and 200 longtime friends and supporters.
In comments to the crowd, Warren declared his intent to tackle some of the problems that have plagued the 2nd Council District for years:
“Despite the good work of so many neighborhood groups and non-profits, and the businesses who have made commitments to these neighborhoods, District 2 still faces many challenges. We are plagued by high unemployment, struggling schools, and a lack of vital city services.
“We are making progress, but we are not there yet.
“From the day I take office, I will work tirelessly to create jobs and more opportunities for District residents; encourage education partnerships to ensure our kids are prepared to fill the jobs of today and tomorrow; and tackle the problems of crime, drugs and gangs with a multi-pronged program that focuses not only on locking up criminals, but addresses the root causes of crime with after-school programs, more jobs, and a focus on support for families.”
Warren grew up in District 2 and has long been active in the business community there. His business, New Faze Development, is located on Del Paso Boulevard in Old North Sacramento, and his extended family and childhood friends are spread throughout the district.
Joining Warren on stage at his announcement – in addition to his mother, wife and three children - were:
• Adrian Perez, Owner, Pop-9 Communications
• Brooke Preston, Owner, The Green Boheme
• Dr. Kadhir Rajagopal, one of only five “California Teachers of the Year” for 2011
• Jim Loehr, Allen’s elementary school basketball coach
• Pastor Ronnie Walton, Jubilaire Evangelistic Ministries
According to Perez, “Allen Wayne Warren embodies the spirit and leadership we need on the City Council. From his work in the community to his commitment toward creating jobs and opportunity, he has my support.”

In all honesty the central problem with the City Council has been it is made up of neighborhood activists with narrow interests, who despite their honorable intentions never grow beyond them Just as neighborhoods benefit from diversity so would the City Council.
Isn't the city currently suing him for failing to complete construction in Del Paso?
Perhaps the money he is raising for his campaign could be better spent paying back the thousands of dollars he owes to others, including the city?
Now, on the subject of Allen Warren...really? What has he done but make money off of bad construction projects riding on the coattails of other firms? Construction industry down, so you are figuring out how to make money off of people through holding public office? get a job.
