The Grover Beach City Council on Monday night selected Daniel Rushing, a local restaurant industry professional, to fill the seat recently vacated by Councilwoman Mariam Shah.
Mariam Shah resigned from the Grover Beach council last month after her family and her moved to Arroyo Grande. At a special meeting on Monday, the council voted unanimously to appoint Rushing to fill Shah’s seat. Rushing was among eight candidates interviewed by the council at the special meeting.
Rushing has lived in Grover Beach with his family since 2003. A former website developer, Rushing most recently worked as a wholesale distributor and sales manager for restaurants on the Central Coast. He has also worked as a personal chef and restaurant manager.
