David Argudo is a Cannabis Advocate and a Current Elected City Official

David Argudo is currently serving as a City Official in High Hampton and brings with him almost a decade of political experience. He helped pass the Compassion Act in 1996, has advised states and local municipalities on cannabis policies, and spearheaded local tax measures for cannabis in California.

Argudo has recently been appointed Chief Executive Officer of High Hampton Holdings Corporation (CSE: HC; FSE: 0HCN), better known as High Hampton. The Company is delighted that Argudo has joined them as CEO.

Early Life and Education

Argudo, born in New York City, attended Francis Lewis High School in Queens. He played two collegiate seasons at Elon University before transferring to Wake Forest. Subsequently, he went on to play professionally with Carolina Dynamo, Columbus Crew SC, Inter Miami, and Norrby IF.

He was accused of pushing a local businessman during an altercation Tuesday night outside council chambers after the two men exchanged comments. Frank Sanchez, the businessman, said Argudo had been speaking out against travel policies when he was shoved and accused him of using cocaine. This dispute stemmed from Argudo spending more taxpayer funds on conference trips last year than his share.

Professional Career

David Argudo made the switch from college soccer to professional soccer after having a successful college career. He played professionally with Columbus Crew SC, Inter Miami, and Norrby IF before spending some time on loan with Hartford Athletic.

Last December in La Puente, Charlie Holloway was one of two candidates for mayor. He and Councilwoman Nadia Mendoza received nominations, but it took six rounds of voting to decide who would serve as the city’s next mayor. Despite a tough fight from former council member David Argudo (then mayor pro tem), Holloway emerged victorious over current Mayor Valerie Munoz and Councilman John Solis. With this new administration comes much opportunity and expectation.

Achievements and Honors

Recent altercations between La Puente Councilman David Argudo and local businessman Frank Sanchez have sparked an investigation by the city’s police department. Argudo is accused of pushing Sanchez, who owns several businesses in La Puente.

Tuesday evening’s council meeting was marred by an incident resulting from a discussion over travel expenses.

Argudo spent more than his fair share of taxpayer funds on conference and lobbying trips last year, a topic which has long divided the council. Recently, they adopted a policy to reduce travel expenses.
