Full Biography for Michael Barnes
Candidate for |
![]() | ||
|
In 1995 I moved to grad student housing in University Village. Five years later I bought a house near Albany High, where my son graduated in 2010. Solar panels keep our utility bills low, and I do much of my commuting and shopping by bicycle or on foot. I have spent most of my career working in the public sector, first as an economic analyst for the state of Washington, and later as a research analyst for the University of California. For the last six years I have been a science editor and writer at UC Berkeley. I served on the Albany school board from 2002 to 2006. I learned that local governments can be very effective when skilled staff members, elected officials and the public respect each other and work together creatively. If elected to the city council, I would provide expertise on the complex issues facing our city, from creating better cell phone policies to coping with climate change. I would bring an independent, tough-minded yet fair approach to the city's problems. |
