When Keith Eich first ran for a seat on the La Cañada Flintridge City Council in 2017, he was a thirty-something dad working for the online tech company LegalZoom who believed the city could benefit from a fresh perspective. When he learned he’d narrowly lost out to former Planning Commissioner Jon Curtis and longtime La Cañada incumbent Dave Spence, Eich gathered his campaign signs and stored them under the house.

Eich is seeking election because he feels the council could use a young parent who lives in a different area of town.
