He works tirelessly and strategically for the good of our community and that of the greater San Gabriel Valley.

Judy Nelson, Former Glendora Mayor
We believe you are an excellent representative for taxpayers and look forward to continuing to work with you in the years ahead.
Howard Jarvis, Taxpayers Association
Michael Allawos has been a man of vision for the City of Glendora. I have been either a resident or business owner in Glendora since 1965. I love its traditions, and enjoy watching the city grow, but not at the expense of the charm that makes it so unique. Michael cares about Glendora, its residents and the business owners that operate within the city. The last few years have been challenging for my business of 27 years. I am not sure we would have survived without Michael’s guidance and support.
Kamron King, Owner of King’s Fitness
Michael represents us small businesses, enabling us to grow in a supportive, responsible and conservative way with creativity and understanding, A vote for Michael is a vote for me.
Fritz Mensing, Campus Cuts
Michael is consistent in his desire to keep Glendora a great place to live. He is not a “yes Councilman” but investigates the issues on his own so that we as his constituents are best represented. Michael protects our tax dollars for the citizens of Glendora‘s best interest. Michaël has my strong support for reelection to Glendora City Council.
Dr. Cliff Hamlow, former Glendora Mayor and City Councilman

Vote for Michael. He’s one of the good guys!

Michael has a great reputation in this city, and we were very happy with his last seat as Mayor in past years. Today most importantly my family highly recommends his influence as Mayor again as he is a person of integrity, honesty and has the ability for help our city grow financially in the right direction for its future projects to come. Michael has shown the ability to gather information in detail prior to making any decision that can better or set our city on the right track. This is the type of leadership we need as a council member or mayor for the City of Glendora and we hope to see him enter his next term. Michael has our endorsement, 100%
David Chavez
I have had the privilege of knowing Michael Allawos for over a decade. Throughout this time, I have observed Michael’s keen ability to comprehend the true issues that will impact all of Glendora, as well as for asking tough questions when tough questions are needed, and for standing up for those in the community who need help. Michael is a true leader who listens to his constituents & then springs into action.
Erica Landmann, Glendora Library Trustee
We have always been impressed with Michael’s attention to detail, thorough research, breath of knowledge, and courage to ask tough questions. He is fiscally responsible, responsive to his constituents and no rubber stamp. We support Michael without reservation.
Michael & Sara Baron
Councilman Michael Allawos has been a true leader in the City of Glendora informing and representing, not only his constituents, but also the entire Glendora community by being fiscally responsible with our tax dollars- all while holding city staff accountable. His experience and reasoning during council meetings and beyond is clearly evident as he’s the one voice we actually need at this time while the state and county continues to squander our tax monies away from us- monies that should be used in Glendora to rehabilitate our facilities and deteriorating infrastructure while keeping the small-town charm of Glendora in this city without radically changing its character. Glendora can’t afford not to have Michael Allawos as councilman once more.
Jon Layne
I proudly and wholeheartedly support Michael Allawos' reelection for Glendora City Council. His leadership has made a real difference, and he continues to show up, listen, and take action on the issues that matter most, such as high-density housing, cost of living, and scrutinizing the city's budget. Michael is committed, hardworking, and genuinely cares about Glendora.
Tomoko Toland
I can always count on Michael to dive deep, ask questions and look out for all Glendorans in a great way. His thoroughness, dedication to service and openness to helping our community is impressive and admirable.
Dr. Dan Cayem, Glendora Unified School District Board Member
Michael Allawos is about the most solid human being I know. He is honest, hardworking, extremely well informed and detail oriented. Instead of supporting his ouster, folks should be trying to convince him to stay, even past this election. He brings perspectives to council discussions, that are chided by others but make 100% sense. He refuses to go along to get along, specifically when viable and reasonable options are ignored or ridiculed. His principles and tenacity, we need more of, not less. We are so very lucky to have this voice available to us.
Mark Davis, Glendora Planning Commissioner
Re-elect Glendora City Councilmember Michael Allawos. He is the one transparent voice of the Council who tells residents the truth. Michael is doing the job you elected him to do. He ensures that you have the opportunity to learn about issues affecting you and encourages you to speak up. He holds his Council colleagues and City staff accountable. He has respectfully served Glendora with honesty and distinction for almost 10 years, including his successful mayorship during the unprecedented pandemic. Our community has greatly benefited from his professionalism and business background. He listens to residents and makes time for their concerns. I learned a long time ago that if something affects me it is my business. I have lived in Glendora for the past 27 years and care about the quality of life here for all of us. I trust Michael Allawos to represent us on the City Council because he has the integrity, skills, and heart that Glendora needs right now in uncertain times.

Gary Clifford, Former Glendora Mayor and current GUSD Board President
Michael Allawos has already proven himself to be a great city council member for Glendora. No matter the topic for review at city council meetings, it is obvious he has educated himself on the subject matter and always asks insightful questions.
Michael's dedication to advocating for residents is not limited to his own district. He is generous with his time to engage in discussions and listen to feedback from any resident. He often provides solutions to bring more public engagement so that the public can be better represented in the city.
