Meet the Candidates for Carlsbad City Treasurer

In the June Primaries 69% of Carlsbad voters chose to vote absentee, which means for all practical purposes we have about 20 days to the election for the absentee voters. Of course there is a lot of talk and noise about the high-profile races such as the City Council and the Mayoral race. However, there are other elections that will impact our city but at the moment are under everyone’s radar. I’m referring to the race for our new City Treasurer. Two candidates are working very hard to get their voices heard. I have decided to dedicate my show on Tuesday September 14th to these two candidates and to interview them so you get to know them.**** My first guest is Jim Comstock, whom I’ve known for many years. Jim has a BS and a MBA in Business Administration from SDSU. He’s a certified Public Accountant, certified financial management, Certified Management Accountant, and an enrolled agent with the Internal Revenue Service. He’s also served in the United State Marine Corps.**** My second guest is John O’Reilly. Four years ago John founded and established O'Reilly Wealth Advisors, LLC, a registered investor advisor. Prior to that he was a semiconductor industry executive and has visited most of the world's microchip factories – He has managed teams, organizations, projects and business deals around the world. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a MS Engineering Management (MBA for Engineers). In 2006 he passed the Series 65 exam for investment advisors. Both men are active in Carlsbad community and I’ll ask them to talk about their work experience and their history in Carlsbad and then I’ll be all ears to hear what they are planning for the financial future of our city. Make sure and tune in tomorrow, Tuesday at 3 pm CA time to listen to our candidates for the position of City Treasurer. We will archive the show on my website (www.farrahdouglas.com) as soon as the show is over.
