I’m Steve Rhee and my wife Jenny Liu and I have lived in Arcadia for 15 years.

I’m a father of two girls, a business owner in Arcadia, and an active participant in several community organizations and initiatives.

My experience as a business person, community volunteer and an active citizen of Arcadia, provides me with a unique and qualified perspective to serve as your voice on City Council.

Why Vote For Steve Rhee

``I withdrew my endorsement of Paul Cheng and now support Steve Rhee for City Council in D4 because of Paul’s recent budget decisions ...``
View Quote and More

I’m committed to public safety and ensuring Arcadia remains fiscally responsible.

I’m passionate about effective new solutions to the homelessness issue. The Grant Vs. Johnson Case is a game changer and gives us an opportunity to take a new approach to homelessness solutions and will allow us to collaborate with other cities.

As we look forward to the World Cup in 2026 and the 2028 Olympics, I aim to advocate for and develop opportunities for Arcadia.

I have chosen to self-fund my campaign and not accept any financial donations because my commitment is to serve the interests of the voters and not be beholden to financial donors.

A vote for me is a vote for a dedicated problem-solver who knows how to work with people to get things done.

I hope to meet you in person, listen to your concerns and ideas and share what I plan to do if elected to Arcadia City Council.

Sincerely,

Steve Rhee's signature.

Steve Rhee’s Priorities

01.

Public Safety

One thing is clear, public safety must be our top priority.

  • Crime: Unfortunately, serious crimes are happening in Arcadia including theft, drug-related offenses, home invasions, prostitution, trafficking, smash-and-grabs at the mall, mailbox theft, and break-ins. Keeping Arcadia safe is my, Steve Rhee, top priority.
  • Speeding in Residential Neighborhoods and Traffic Safety Around Schools: We must keep our streets safe for our children and families.

02.

Fiscal Responsibility

Fiscal Responsibility

  • Balanced Budget: Committed to win-win solutions that prioritize financial stability.
  • Transparency For Taxpayers: Ensuring you know exactly where your tax dollars go.
  • Supporting Local Businesses: Keep tax revenue in Arcadia, funding police, fire services, and essential infrastructure improvements.
  • Favorable Business Environment: Prioritizing policies that help Arcadia remain a place where businesses thrive.

03.

Homelessness

It’s time for a fresh approach and real action—no more arguing or finger pointing. Let’s come together and work on solutions.

We can’t afford to wait.

Last year, Arcadia spent $1,407,067.38 on homelessness-related services.

I’ll work to bring that number down with a new approach:

  • Change No-Camping Ordinance: Implement citywide restrictions on camping.
  • Offer Shelter in Other Cities: Partner with neighboring cities to provide shelter alternatives.
  • Enforce No-Camping Ordinance: Enforcing policies that respect both public spaces and individuals.
  • Lead with Compassion: Striking a balance between enforcement and compassion to ensure our parks, schools, neighborhoods, and business areas are safe.

04.

Looking Ahead

Preparing Arcadia for future events and economic growth:

2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics: Let’s find ways for Arcadia to leverage these global events to boost the local economy  while ensuring public safety and preparedness.
