In the recent recall election the community voted overwhelmingly (80%) for change. It only failed to pass by use of an obscure interpretation of the voting rules. Only two candidates represent change back to the stability, transparency, and responsible governance we lost in the last election.
The candidates we are recommending, Pam Porter and Newton Kwan, both have been very active in community affairs over many years and know our needs. The remaining two candidates have no such experience and were likely hand picked by the existing board majority block. If you want to stop the chaos, vote for Pam and Newton.
What follows are brief candidate statements. Please review them carefully, and above all, VOTE NOW. Let’s finish the job.
Newton Kwan Hi neighbors, I’m Newton Kwan. Many of you know me from my previous service on the Board, where my focus was always on one thing: excellence in operations. I’m proud of our track record of maintaining high community standards while successfully lowering our dues.
I am stepping up to run for the Board again because Morgan Creek deserves a return to professional, resident-focused management. While I previously had to step away to manage a career transition, I am now in a position to fully dedicate the next two years to serving our community. I am ready to get back to work for all homeowners.
If elected, my focus will be on:
• Fiscal Accountability: Managing our budget with the same scrutiny I use for my own finances to ensure every dollar is spent wisely.
• Streamlined Operations: Improving the responsiveness of the ARC process so homeowners get clear, timely answers without unnecessary delays.
• Vendor Management: Ensuring our contractors—from landscaping to security—are held to the high standards we pay for as residents.
I’m not interested in the politics of the Board; I’m interested in the results. I would be honored to have your support in bringing a steady, professional, and committed approach back to Morgan Creek.
Pam Porter: Hi neighbors, I’m Pam Porter. I currently serve as your Board Secretary, and I’m running for re-election because I believe our community is ready for a chapter defined by stability, transparency, and professional governance.
I know some may see a familiar name and worry about a “status quo” mentality. However, my time on the Board over the last two years has given me a unique perspective on exactly where our processes have drifted. I am not running to look backward; I am running to ensure our Board functions as a professional service for all homeowners.
My commitment to you:
• Fair & Consistent Governance: I believe the Board’s primary role is to uphold our standards fairly. I will advocate for a culture where decisions are made in the open and always reflect the collective will of the community.
• Prioritizing Homeowner Interests: An HOA Board should have one clear priority: protecting the property values and quality of life for every resident. I am committed to independent leadership that is focused solely on our neighborhood’s well-being.
• Restoring Trust: I hear the call for a new direction clearly. I am dedicated to moving past recent friction and returning to a culture of collaboration where every neighbor feels heard and respected.
I’m asking for your vote so we can move forward with a Board that is efficient, transparent, and focused on the future of our beautiful community.
Your comment indicating that the two other candidates were picked by the board is f%%^ing appalling. Quit making false accusations.
Matthew Riley would make an excellent board member.
