Four are early entrants to Poway City Council election
By Steve Dreyer
The four City Council candidates who in recent months have revealed their plans to run in November took out their official nomination papers this week.
City voters will elect two council members. Councilman Jim Cunningham is running for a second four-year term and took out his papers on Tuesday. Cunningham announced his re-election intentions last October.
Councilwoman Merrilee Boyack is not running for re-election. She has served two terms.
Challengers Steve Vaus and Gary Vineyard took out their papers on Monday, the first day of the official candidate nomination period. Jeff Mangum took out his papers on Tuesday afternoon.
Vaus announced his candidacy on Dec. 12, with Mangum doing the same the following day. Vineyard announced on May 8.
The filing period will close on Aug. 15. The two candidates receiving the most votes in November will fill the two council seats.
Cunningham is a partner in a San Diego labor law practice. Vaus is a business owner and a recording artist. Vineyard owns a pool maintenance company and a barbecue business. Mangum is an attorney and former Poway Unified School District board member.

Good Luck Mr. Vineyard. You've served your city well for the past 25 years. I hope your efforts don't go Un recognized.
Good luck Gary Vineyard! You have done so much for this community, it would be an honor to have you in the seat.
Thanks for your kind comments and don't forget to vote!
Steve Vaus, looking forward to seeing you in that seat and helping the community,
Just returned to our "City in the Country" after 22 years with my family. Poway has made some nice changes to fit the community in todays times. Although some of the more imperative changes, that affect our youth & families in todays time have yet to be made. We look forward to seeing Steve Vaus in that seat to make those changes.
Good luck Gary! You've got my whole family's vote. That's a solid 10 votes! You've proved to be loyal to the city of Poway and your service will continue!
I keep reading comments about Gary's great service to Poway. But until 15 minutes ago I had never heard of the guy.
Let's change that right now. Give me a holler at vineyardforpowaycouncil@cox.net and let me know what interests you. Thanks for your interest in Poway.
Gary Vineyard
Id like to stay Steve Vaus is a straight shooter. Strong morals and values. Has my vote.
I'm only familiar with one of the candidates myself. Might be because I've seen him out in the community trying to make a difference where it needs it the most. Steve Vaus seems like he cares about this city, and what this city needs.
