EXPERIENCE COUNTS -

I am deeply committed to a healthy and whole Cotati through fiscal responsibility, sustainable environmental policy, transportation alternatives, and quality community services. Through my work on Cotati's Land Use Code, I have worked diligently to establish protections that will ensure balanced growth and preserve our unique, diverse character.

I have devoted years to our city as a forward thinking public servant who -- with your help -- will continue to make decisions that will keep Cotati sustainable in all ways for future generations.

EXPERIENCE in Cotati City Government -

I served on the Cotati Planning Commission for three years prior to my appointment to our city council where I spearheaded such important projects as the Multi Modal Transit Village, now known as the Santero Way Specific Plan.

I was appointed to the Cotati City Council in October 2000 and elected to a four-year term in November 2002.

EXPERIENCE in our COMMUNITY -

I have been a resident of Cotati since 1984. My roots in the community run deep. I am the co-founder of Cotati 4H and former Executive Board Officer of 4H for Sonoma County. I have served as a member of the Board of Directors of the non-profit Accordion Festival and been an active volunteer for this nationally recognized event. Always active in my children's lives, I have served two terms as Thomas Page PTA president
