Phil Chigos for San Anselmo Town Council

Focused on neighborhood-first solutions and transparent council stewardship, ensuring our town's character thrives for all residents.

Phil’s Practical Solutions for San Anselmo

On parking, housing, downtown, and the budget, Phil brings a plan, not a slogan. Here’s how he’ll put uncommon common sense to work on the Town Council.

Before charging for parking, enforce the two-hour time limits already on the books, and identify the actual problem before spending on a fix.

How Phil would fix parking without new fees

Enforce the limits we already have— Phil’s plan for traffic

Protect the currently available parking, identify additional options to increase parking downtown, support Live on the Avenue, and require performance bonds so no downtown parcel sits boarded up for years.

Meet the State mandate with growth guided by the General Plan our community spent years shaping, and fully embrace ADUs as part of the solution.

Build on one of downtown’s best community assets, without unnecessarily sacrificing the parking our businesses depend on.

Phil Chigos

Rooted in San Anselmo since 2017

Since moving to San Anselmo in 2017, Phil Chigos and his wife have raised their three children, built four businesses and operated two in-town properties, and held community service roles to build their home community.
