Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Arcadia

"I worked with Mary on the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) for almost two years. She proved herself and then some. Mary is dedicated, intelligent, asks the right questions, is hard working, does her homework and works well with others. She would be a very good fit on the Arcadia City Council. I will proudly give Mary one of my two votes and encourage you to do the same."
-Gail Marshall, Former Arcadia Mayor

"As the chair of the Government Affairs Forum of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, it has been my good fortune to have Mary Dougherty as my co-chair for the last several years. Her sincere interest in all levels of government together with her extensive past experience on the Arcadia Board of Education gives her, in my opinion, unique qualifications to serve on the Arcadia City Council. I feel certain that she will do an outstanding job as a member of the Council."
-Peter H. Ulrich

"Mary Dougherty has served nobly on the Chamber of Commerce protecting and encouraging both business and residential interests. She is fair and dedicated to Arcadia, and deserves your vote for City Council. She will be a breath of fresh air!"
-Beth Costanza, former Executive Director, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce

"I know Mary from PTA and many years together on the school board. Mary is intelligent, thoughtful, ethical, and a very creative thinker. She believes as an elected representative it is her responsibility to be widely informed on all the issues that might affect her decision-making; she goes well beyond just 'doing her homework.' Mary would be a dedicated, thoughtful City Councilwoman and a credit to Arcadia."
-Maryann Gibson

"As someone I worked with for many years, I know Mary to be committed to your community, to work tirelessly on issues of importance, and to be steadfast in doing what is right."
-Mimi Hennessy, AUSD Superintendent, July 1999-August 2008

"During the time I was Superintendent for the AUSD, I was very lucky to have Mary as a Board member. Her incisiveness, attention to detail and fiscal acumen served always to ensure that the staff and I were 'on our toes.' I know she would bring those necessary qualities to the Arcadia City Council."
-Terry Towner, AUSD Superintendent, July 1990-June 1999
