Residents shouldn't need public records requests to understand what's happening at City Hall. Government works best in the open. That's the standard I'll bring to City Council. #WalterStahr #Transparency #OpenGovernment

Let me be clear. Newport Beach absolutely needs outstanding police facilities. The question isn't whether we build one. It's where. I believe we can support public safety and preserve Civic Center Park. We don't have to choose. #WalterStahr #PublicSafety #NewportBeach #CivicCenterPark

A new granddaughter. A new book coming out. Travel plans. Running for City Council wasn't on my list for 2026. Then came the March 10 City Council meeting. After hearing overwhelming public opposition, the council voted 6–1 to move forward with studying the Civic Center Park site anyway. That moment convinced me Newport Beach needed a different kind of leadership. And that's why I'm running. #WalterStahr #NewportBeach #Leadership #CityCouncil #CommunityFirst

One determined resident can change a city. Walter shares the story of how his parents helped build the Newport Beach Central Library and what that experience taught him about leadership. #WalterStahr #NewportBeachLibrary #Leadership #CommunityService

Councilman Erik Weigand is Squandering Our Tax Dollars Weigand voted to increase city spending by 36% — $139 million — during his four years on the Council. That’s TWICE the rate of inflation! \Weigand’s “Jail in the Park” Plan will cost city taxpayers $50 million MORE than using other, better alternative sites. Weigand’s shameful efforts to stop Newport residents from voting on ballot measures are likely costing city taxpayers over $2 million in legal fees and election expenses.

Our revenues are strong. My concern isn't scarcity — it's oversight. This money isn't provided by the tooth fairy. It comes from the pockets of the people who live here. #WalterStahr #NewportBeach #FiscalResponsibility #Accountability

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
