I’m Terry Keiser, and I’m running for Grand Terrace City Council because I believe in this community and its future. As a 69-year-old retired physical therapist and a small business owner, I’ve spent my life working to help others regain their health and independence. Now, I want to use that same dedication to help our city thrive.
I’ve been a proud resident of Grand Terrace since 1986, where I raised my two daughters and actively advocated for the establishment of Grand Terrace High School. Although my girls graduated before they could attend, it was a project close to my heart. My connection to this community runs deep, and now that I’m retired, I have the time and energy to dedicate to making Grand Terrace the best it can be.
My experience as a small business owner has taught me the value of hard work and the importance of supporting local businesses. I want to see small businesses in Grand Terrace grow and succeed, because they are the foundation of our local economy.
Public safety is another priority for me. I understand the need for additional sheriff support to ensure the safety of our residents, and I’ll be voting for Measure M. Our community deserves to feel secure, and I want to be part of the solution.
I like the direction Grand Terrace is heading, and I want to help continue the progress. If elected to City Council, I’ll focus on creating opportunities for local businesses, supporting public safety initiatives, and ensuring that we grow in a way that benefits all residents.
I hope to earn your vote to help shape a brighter future for Grand Terrace.
