Today is the last day to qualify as a write-in City Council candidate. Four of seven council seats are up for reelection in the Nov. 6 election.
Only one write-in candidate was qualified as of Monday, city officials said. Theodie Peterson, 52, is a lawyer and teaches property law at Southern California Institute of Law.
He grew up in Camarillo, worked for Atlantic Richfield Co. for several years and later was a chief litigator for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. He holds a bachelor’s degree and law degree from Yale University.
Peterson has lived in Ventura since June. He opposes a plan to build as many as 1,900 homes in hillsides and canyons bordering the city and said leaders should focus more on affordable housing.
