When I served as Mayor, Steve was a person I could count on to get the job done. He served on Anaheim’s Public Utility Commission, Budget Commission, our Planning Commission and even now, he serves as a Director on the Metropolitan Water District.
Anaheim continues to be one of the best places in America to live, work and raise a family. Councilman Steve Faessel is a big part of our city’s success. I urge you to vote to re-elect Councilman Steve Faessel!”
Hon. Tom Daly
California State Assembly Member, 69th District and Former Anaheim Mayor (1992 – 2002)
“I proudly support Steve Faessel for re-election to the Anaheim City Council, representing District 5. Steve always puts the residents of his district and the entire city first and serves his constituents with integrity. He was born and raised in Anaheim, raised his family in District 5, and has been a devoted public servant for decades. We are fortunate to have his leadership at the helm during this difficult time for our city and nation. District 5 residents have a representative who is passionate about their welfare and will always prioritize the needs of their community. A vote for Steve Faessel is a vote for families and neighborhoods!”

Hon. DR Heywood

“I’m very happy to support and endorse Steve for re-election! It seems extremely rare in 2020 to find someone like Steve willing to run for and serve in public office during difficult times. He has chosen to spend his entire life in the city where he was born, that is exceedingly rare. It has been my privilege to serve and work with him on everything from the board of the Anaheim Historic Society to the multiple city boards and commissions. I do not believe there is a better prepared & qualified citizen in the whole city to represent 5th District residents. As an historian, Steve will always look at the big picture and do what is best for his beloved hometown. The saying that most applies to Steve – he is there for the right reasons. Steve really walks the talk.”
