Testimonials

“I have known Bill Phillips since Cosmo's Italian Kitchen opened in 1998.  Bill has been a steward of our city as a volunteer in the early planning stages and was and is an instrumental force in our city government. He is kind, thoughtful, intelligent and I hold Bill and his family very close.  I can think of no better person that can truly represent the best interest of the city of Aliso Viejo.”

“I remember the day Aliso Viejo became a city. I stood there with such pride in my heart watching Bill Phillips and the other founding members of our city council. I’ve known Bill Phillips for over 20 years and have watched him help guide our city to become ranked as the #1 city in which to live in Orange County. Bill’s background in urban planning and renewal uniquely qualifies him to lead our city into the coming years. He has served our city well from the days when we fought against the El Toro Airport issue all the way up to the present. He truly has a great love for our community and its residents. Bill has my full support as he pursues reelection in November.”

“Without a doubt, Bill Phillips has been our most visionary and effective community leader. Bill Phillips loves the community of Aliso Viejo, and has dedicated the last 20+ years to ensure that Aliso Viejo is among America’s finest places to live, work, and play.”

“Bill Phillips has been “a force of nature” and thoughtful leader on behalf of our community for over two decades, and has been integral to our City’s success and bright future. Having lived in NYC and LA before moving to Aliso Viejo in 1999, we never imagined this would be our last stop.  But Aliso Viejo has captured us in the best kind of way.  My wife and I have raised two wonderful girls in this magical small town.  As an entrepreneur, it was a dream to locate my business a few short miles from home, which I did with KOR Water in 2012.  Aliso Viejo just keeps getting better and better.  Success like this doesn’t just happen - it’s a result of the great stewardship Aliso Viejo has enjoyed from leaders like Bill Phillips.”

“I have known Bill Phillips for over 12 years and know he constantly takes actions to improve our fine City of Aliso Viejo. During Council meetings Bill’s thoughtful analysis and vetting of issues facing our city is very obvious - benefiting our residents as well as our businesses. As a Realtor, I can tell you Bill is concerned with protecting and increasing our property values - as example; he relentlessly opposed the massive Post Office sorting facility, and was an advocate of walkability before walkability was known to be an important value proposition for communities. I am very glad to have Bill represent us on City Council.”

“Bill has been an invaluable resource to Aliso Viejo for many years. As a someone who works and lives in Aliso Viejo, Bill has been extremely helpful in coordinating resources and connecting groups and organizations. Bill’s foresight and vision for developing Aliso Viejo has made it the great place it is today.”

“Bill Philips has been an extraordinary advocate of preserving open space for our wilderness parkland. His decades of service with Laguna Canyon Foundation and the Coastal Greenbelt Authority has provided a direct link with the preservation efforts and the City of Aliso Viejo.”

“Aliso Viejo City Council Founding Member and current City Council Member, Bill Phillips, invites you to explore his official campaign website for the upcoming 2016 election. Bill has been immersed and involved in the beautiful community of Aliso Viejo since 1989 and is now seeking re-election. Bill is not only a hard working businessman, having worked as an urban design consultant and currently serving as chairman of the Saddleback Memorial Medical Foundation. Yet he is most dedicated in serving the residents of Aliso Viejo, by interminably seeking opportunities to answer questions, address concerns and doing what is best for the community as a whole.”

“For the last seventeen years that our family has known Bill Phillips, he has been a dedicated public servant to Aliso Viejo. From its earliest days as an unincorporated community, through the transition to city-hood in 2001, and to today, he has been integrally involved. Bill is a caring, steadfast and true steward to our beautiful city.”

“Bill has been a personal and professional mentor to me for 17 years. He is a selfless civil servant who is consistently willing to put the needs of others before his own, and he is always willing to use every resource at his disposal to help those around him.”

“It’s not often that a city council member is known by name....let alone be someone you can ask to mentor a young college student in a neighboring city. Bill Phillips has always taken the time to listen, motivate and help one gain perspective, while remaining a devoted leader to our vibrant community.”

“Bill Phillips is a great personal friend of mine who I met through Aliso Viejo’s own AYSO, where I coached and managed teams for over 8 years. When his daughter ended up on my team one season, I was thrilled to have such an unexpected talent on my team. Not only was his daughter an incredibly skilled soccer player, but I had no idea I was about to embark on a long lasting friendship when he volunteered his incredible team building and organizational skills by coaching with me that season even though he had a full time job and was already on the City Council. That was over 6 years ago and Bill and his family have remained friends of mine throughout the years. I already know what an incredible leader he is and most of Aliso Viejo does too! For those of you who don’t know him, Bill Phillips is a great communicator, an ideal innovator, a fantastic team builder, and a proven leader when most rather sit it out on the side lines. Aliso Viejo needs someone on their team who can take us to the next level, and Bill Phillips is the proven leadership we need!”
