It was great to read recently that Steve Sojka has decided to seek another term on the Simi Valley City Council. I can't think of a better person for the job.

Steve is "Mr. Simi Valley," having grown up here, played youth sports here, played football for Simi Valley High School, his father was the police chief, he was president of his Rotary Club, etc.

I remember playing Little League baseball with him, watching him play football for Simi High and I enjoy reading about his volunteer service and leadership with the City Council.

I frequently watch the City Council meetings on TV and I like the fact that Steve is trying to keep Simi Valley a great place to live and raise a family. I'm very proud to tell people how long I have lived in Simi Valley: 42 years.

He cares deeply about his community and hometown and it shows in his words and actions. I'm definitely voting for him on Nov. 4. Henry Cota Simi Valley
