Episode 139 Darrell Park, Candidate for Los Angeles County Supervisor, 5th District by The Talk of Santa Clarita

Darrell Park is a nerd. He wears the tag with pride as he is obsessed with public policy and finding real word solutions to problems.
Darrell is a graduate of Allegheny College and Georgetown University. He spent nearly a decade working in the White House during the Clinton administration where he watched the Federal Budget get balanced. He then attended Stanford Business School and got involved with a start-up. He is also the author of the book “Better Than We Found It: Simple Solutions to Some of the World’s Toughest Problems.”
He is married and has one child and is currently a candidate for the 5th District position for the Los Angeles County Supervisors, a position currently held by Katherine Barger.
At the top of the website ElectDarrellPark.com, there is a banner which says simply “Let’s Fix it.” A slogan which pretty much covers his entire campaign platform. Darrell believes it is possible t move to a greener and more environmentally friendly economy that he says will boom at the same time.
I think I said this the last time I interviewed Darrell. I believe him to be either a visionary or a little bit crazy, or, maybe a little of both. What I found striking about Darrell though was his optimism. He is hopeful for the future of Los Angeles County and believes firmly he can help improve it for the betterment of us all. It’s a refreshing to be around a politician with that kind of attitude and so much confidence in his answers.
I don’t know if what Darrell envisions is even possible, but he definitely left me feeling that the world needs more optimists like him.
