Candidate for
Council Member; City of Pleasant Hill

Dear Neighbors,

I believe you want the same things for Pleasant Hill that I do: a pleasant small town, great neighborhoods, a comfortable heart with nice shops and restaurants, excellent public services, good schools, good roads and sidewalks, with trees and landscaping everywhere. I have tried to accomplish this for all of us during my years on the City Council and would like to continue.

"They" said it couldn't be done unless we also built huge office buildings to provide more revenues. Well, I successfully fought against big buildings and we did it anyway! Now Pleasant Hill serves as a delightful example for other small towns whose residents don't want to cave in to developer's pressure.

Much still needs to be done, and be done right. I am intelligent, thoughtful, and well informed about City matters. I have the guts to stand up for what is fair and right and not cave in to expediency. I work hard to make sure your voice is heard. If you want Pleasant Hill to remain pleasant, please vote for me on November second.

My Top Priorities:

• I support quality low-density residential infill to prevent over-development in our neighborhoods.

• As chair of the Southern Pleasant Hill Task Force I'm working to improve the existing flood control system to minimize the effects of flooding along creeks and in low-lying neighborhoods.

• I'll work to improve and expand our library at its present location.

• I support revenue-producing retail and want to complete the Crossroads Shopping Center and finish the improvements of the two yet-undeveloped areas.

• I'll work to improve Police services and will implement traffic- calming measures in our neighborhoods to increase safety.
