/EINPresswire.com/ Community advocate and Emmy award winning Foley Artist, Jody Thomas announced that she is running for Calabasas City Council. The Calabasas City Council election is on March 5, 2013.

Calabasas, CA – Jody Thomas, a longtime community advocate and Emmy award-winning Foley Artist, has announced that she is running for Calabasas City Council.

“The reasons for my run are very simple,” Jody stated. ”I want to be an accessible and transparent voice of the community. If elected, I will advance the priorities that we all share; preserving Calabasas’ character through responsible budgeting, protecting our open space, promoting local business, and ensuring that our schools are provided with all the resources they need to educate our children to the highest standards.”
