(Sept. 6, 2017, 3:50 p.m.) -- Fifth district Councilwoman Stacy Mungo's new Chief of Staff is Steve Napolitano. Mr. Napolitano is a Manhattan Beach resident, former three term Manhattan Beach Councilmember (1992-2005) and was Senior Deputy to then-L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe (2005-2016) whose district included Long Beach. After finishing second in a November 2016 race (against Janice Hahn) to succeed retiring Supervisor Knabe, Mr. Napolitano sought and won election in March 2017 returning him to the Manhattan Beach City Council.

On his 2017 campaign website for Manhattan Beach City Council, Mr. Napolitano stated in part:

"[W]e need our [Manhattan Beach] City Council to put our residents first, be fiscally responsible and protect our small town atmosphere and low profile development...[I will] Protect our small town atmosphere and low profile development; keep Manhattan Beach safe by hiring more police; provide independent, common sense leadership; keep city hall transparent and accountable..."

Asked by LBREPORT.com what induced him to join Councilwoman Mungo's office as Chief of Staff, he replied "she asked me."

Mr. Napolitano began his new job yesterday (Sept. 5.) Welcome to Long Beach City Hall, sir.
