Working to move us forward, one decision at a time…

Representing Redondo Beach since 2017

Real-life strategy to reach your goals.

I was overwhelmingly elected to be a City Councilmember in 2017, and again in 2021. My work in the community has been immense, working for the past 29 years as an LA County Lifeguard on our local beaches, with over 20 years as a Junior Lifeguard Instructor. I’ve owned and operated a computer business for 25 years, providing web services to a variety of clients. I founded multiple community groups, which focused on our quality of life and produced development projects more in line with our community.

  • Los Angeles County Lifeguard for nearly 30 years on our local beaches.
  • Junior Lifeguard Instructor for 25 years

  • Lifelong South Bay Resident

  • Small Business Owner

  • Two-Term, 8-year Councilmember.

  • President of Independent Cities Association -ICA

I work and play in Redondo Beach

We strive for diversity across the globe

Our Beach Culture is Vital

Born and raised in the South Bay, I moved to Redondo Beach in 2007. Working as a Lifeguard and a Junior Lifeguard Instructor on our local beaches, I found the beauty of Redondo Beach. My love for the ocean, from my boating background, swimming, surfing, fishing, and beach lifestyle kept me living here and fighting to keep our beach town, a beach town.

I work and play throughout Redondo Beach. I understand our community’s character and will make sure that Redondo doesn’t become a traffic nightmare like the west side, or the density of concrete canyons. Preserving the lifestyle of Redondo and balancing a sensible, sustainable growth is my goal.

Affecting State-wide Policy, Protecting Redondo Beach

State Representation

Real-life strategy to reach your goals.

Working on State wide policies such as Our Neighborhood Voices, I am ready to lead. From homeless issues, to waterfront issues, to mandatory requirements by the state, I am well-versed in the litany of greater-than-Redondo issues that will come our way.

  • Fully support the take-back of local control on housing and local zoning issues.

  • Will seek the necessary funds to improve our Harbor, Waterfront and Seaside lagoon.

  • Will work tirelessly to prevent the next harmful round of State mandates affecting Redondo Beach.

Endorsements -From your neighbors, to across the State of California

We generate results for our customers

“I am honored to support and be the voice for Bill Brand’s posthumous endorsement of Nils Nehrenheim for Mayor of Redondo Beach. When Bill knew his term would be cut short, he wanted his friend Jim to complete his term, Nils to be the next Mayor.

Over the long term, Bill regularly expressed confidence in Nils’ fierce passion to fight for the people first, and be the next generation to lead us forward as our next elected Mayor. Moreover, like Bill, Nils has made the principled decision to refuse donations or endorsements from those who work for or do business with the City.

Nils knows this City well, and as a notable President of the Independent Cities Association, Nils established successful working relationships with officials from LA County and throughout the State of California. These key relationships will ultimately benefit the residents of Redondo Beach, and I believe that Nils is best positioned to capture that support.”

–Deirdre West Brand

“Nils was a tireless advocate to make our organization the best ever. He audited our finances, fixed issues, created a record revenue for our organization, ICA.”

Mayor Goran Eriksson, Culver City (Ret.)

“I was an elected leader of my community before Nils took office, and I continually look to him for advice. He always listens, leads with integriy. Proud to give him my support.”

Councilmember Mark Henderson

“I was the youngest Mayor of Manhattan Beach, Nils reminds me of myself back then. He has accomplished so much, the South Bay looks to him to lead the next generation of leaders.”

Councilmember Steve Napolitano, Manhattan Beach.
