Dames and Malkin were major players in creating and evolving La Mirada's largest and most successful community event-the "4 La Mirada Kids Carnival." The model 3-day extravaganza held every April features quality entertainment, food, and a big dose of community spirit. It provides for a major fund-raising opportunity for kids groups and organizations throughout La Mirada.

So, the candidates for the election in March appear to be incumbent Steve Jones (elected in 1998); City Commissioner, Larry Mowles; City Commissioner Steve DeRuse; Police Officer, Andrew Sarega; and Attorney, Paul R. Brown.
