About Manuel

Father. Law Enforcement. Neighbor

His Story

Manuel "Manny" Olivas knows what it means to show up for his community. For years, he has served as a law enforcement officer a career built on protecting people, solving problems, and earning trust one interaction at a time.

But Manuel's commitment to Pismo Beach doesn't stop when the shift ends. He's a father raising two children in this city. He shops at the same stores, walks the same beaches, and cares deeply about the same things every Pismo Beach family cares about: safety, opportunity, and a community worth being proud of.

That's why he's running for City Council.

His Mission

Manuel has seen what happens when local government loses touch with the people it serves. He's running because he believes Pismo Beach deserves leadership that is:

• Transparent: no backroom deals, no hidden agendas. Just honest communication with the people of this city.

• Fiscally Responsible: spending taxpayer dollars wisely and holding the city to a high standard of accountability.

• Community-First: listening to residents, businesses, and visitors alike before making decisions that affect everyone.

He isn't running for a title. He's running because this city matters and because the families who call it home deserve a voice that truly represents them.

His Focus

If elected, Manuel's top priorities will be:

• Improving and maintaining public safety across all neighborhoods

• Continuing to invest in local infrastructure. Roads, parks, and public spaces

• Supporting economic growth that benefits local businesses and residents

• Protecting the natural beauty and environment that defines Pismo Beach
