Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Eric Holm

Candidate for
Council Member; City of San Rafael

This information is provided by the candidate

Eric Holm "has a pragmatic, centrist approach similar to Mayor Boro." Dick Spotswood, Marin IJ

I vision San Rafael to continue to be the central city of Marin, where people live their lives to the fullest and are supported by:

  • Engaged local government
  • Vibrant communities
  • Beautiful Open Lands
  • Economic Prosperity

We need proven leaders, with experience making tough decisions that are in the best interest of the community. We need a Council that delivers policy that reflects our practical needs and values, not ideology or intrusive influence. We need our city workforce to be sensitive to the needs and desires of the people. We need a stable City budget that draws from multiple sources of income, to reasonably sustain our way of living, spark our economy, and protect our environment.

  • Yes on Continuing the Forward Direction of our City
  • Yes on Measure G, to build and repair firehouses and the police station for our emergency responders.
  • Yes On Economic Development, like the "Downtown Vision" and the Northgate Mall.
  • Yes On Responsible Renewable Green Energy and ways to Combat Climate Change.
  • Yes On Government Salary and Benefit Reform
  • Elect Eric Holm, J.D. to the City Council for a commonsense and transparent approach to create sustainable solutions in this time of social and financial challenges.

With my years of experience in Government, Administrative Law, and Public Policy on both the Federal and State levels, I am the candidate most qualified to be elected to the San Rafael City Council.

I ask for your Vote on November 03, 2009. Thank you for your support.
