Oxnard City Council · Election Day, November 3
Aaron Starr isn’t on Your Ballot.
He’s Still Trying
to Take Over.
Tired of being on the wrong side of nearly every vote, Councilman Aaron Starr is trying to stack the deck.
He handpicked John Barrick, Lizanne Nañez and Noemi Corpuz to take over the Oxnard City Council.
His network wrote the checks.
His Agenda Will Ruin Oxnard
01 · In his own words
He told on himself.
“I’ve recruited three candidates to run in November…that would be part of our agenda, and we have a very robust agenda…”
Aaron Starr, 5/24/26
Libertarian National Convention
Stood alone
Starr’s “agenda” is so outside the mainstream, he’s been the sole no vote more than 50 times. Starr stood alone against funding the police and fire departments, banning landlords from harassing tenants, and even certifying election results.
02 · The Slate
Meet the Starr Slate:
Recruited, Not Ready
To execute his agenda, Aaron Starr recruited a slate of candidates with no agenda of their own, no experience in local government, and no plans to make Oxnard better.
They’re not ready to serve.
District 1
“The Pretender”
A local Republican hack pretending to be non-partisan to get votes.
Ran as a Republican for District Attorney in 2022
Currently an ex officio member of the Ventura County Republican Party
Contributor to Republican campaigns
Turned His Back on Riverpark
If Barrick had his way, Riverpark would have been decimated — flood protections stripped, street and park maintenance cut, community programs slashed, and police patrols public safety significantly reduced.
Hobbies Include: Suing the City
VCTA has sued to stop Oxnard from fulfilling its pension obligations and attacked the municipal workers who keep our streets clean.
No Agenda for Oxnard
No plans. No priorities. Just a reliable vote to do nothing.
“The Flipper”
She Was For Measure E Before She Was Against It
Nañez backed 2020’s Measure E, a 1.5-cent sales tax that funded 911 safety and emergency response. Now she opposes 2026’s Measure E, which keeps public safety funding in place without a rate increase.
Funding First Responders: From “first priority” to “not at all.”
She said funding police should be the city’s first priority and called officers underpaid. Now, she sides with Starr, who voted against paying our police and approving firefighters’ contracts.
District 2
District 5
“The Blank Slate”
No Agenda. No Record.
No Donors of her Own
96% of Corpuz’ campaign is funded by the donors who’ve given to other members of the Starr Slate.
No Transparency
Corpuz won’t tell voters where she stands, other than her opposition to Measure E, alongside Aaron Starr and the Starr Slate.
Nothing But a “No” Vote
Corpuz seems to be running for one reason — to be another “No” vote when Aaron Starr needs one.
03 · The Agenda
The Starr agenda starts with No.
From the platform
Closer to home, the Ventura County Libertarian Party is telling voters to reject local school construction bonds and to require a two-thirds vote for any new local tax. It also backs Prop 39’s voter ID requirement, which puts it at odds with its own state party.
National Platform — Excerpts
Libertarian Party
By the numbers
6 to 1
Just Say No
The Council voted to get something done, while Aaron Starr stood alone.
Starr’s Agenda isn’t reform.
It’s a tantrum.
“… not only have I recruited candidates, but I’ve been raising money for them.”

04 · Follow the money
Three campaigns.
One checkbook.
People and businesses
gave to the Starr Slate
Gave to all three candidates
Wrote three identical
checks on the same day
Total of those same-day checks
Exhibit A
Where the money comes from
of the Starr Slate’s comes from Camarillo, Ojai, Thousand Oaks, Carpinteria, the Bay Area, San Diego, Orange County, Las Vegas and even South Carolina.
Exhibit B
Who’s pulling the strings?
5
executives from one Camarillo electronics company, each maxed out to all three candidates
5
employees of one warehouse and logistics operation, same checks to all three
4
members of one Ojai
sod-farm family
5
married couples who each maxed out to all three
The network behind them leads straight back to Starr. A former chair of the Ventura County Libertarian Party maxed out to all three on the slate’s first day of fundraising. A 2024 candidate for the Libertarian presidential nomination maxed out to all three too.
Exhibit C
A Coordinated Effort
The three campaigns have one treasurer, use the same financial accounting package, and even share the same unpaid printing bill.
They hired the same photographer, and paid the same amount in two identical $2,250 installments. That’s no coincidence.
All three reports were filed with the City Clerk on the same day. Two of their vendors, the mail house and the canvassing software, also worked on Aaron Starr’s own 2024 campaign.
Exhibit D
Starr’s Network
In 2024, Aaron Starr put $75,000 of his own money into his council race and raised $6,019 from everyone else. In his entire campaign history, only 12 people and groups have written him a check. Three of them are now writing checks to all three of his recruits.

05 · What it’s already cost you
With three more votes, he won’t need to sue. His grievances will become policies.
Aaron Starr has sued the City of Oxnard 19 times in eight years. Defending those suits has cost taxpayers nearly $4 million, according to the city’s own accounting. One of them froze $36 million in street and alley repairs for more than two years.
Starr’s lawsuits have a ripple effect throughout the city. Those two years of delayed street repairs meant more flat tires, more wear and tear on our cars, more repair bills for Oxnard residents.
And that’s not all. The $4 million the city has been forced to waste on Aaron Starr’s almost never-ending list of personal grievances pulled resources from other city services, delayed critical infrastructure improvements, and ultimately resulted in less opportunity for Oxnard voters.
Oxnard doesn’t need three more No votes. On November 3, oppose the Starr Slate.
