Candidate for
Council Member; City of Pleasant Hill

Hello, my name is Jeremy Cloward and I am running for a seat on the Pleasant Hill City Council. I was born in San Francisco and my family moved to Pleasant Hill when I was about three years old. I grew up and attended school in Pleasant Hill from kindergarten (Gregory Gardens) through my first two years of college (Diablo Valley College). After I completed my studies in the Pleasant Hill schools I received a BA in political science from CSU Chico, a teaching credential in social science from Chapman University, an MA in political science from San Francisco State University and a PhD in political science from Claremont Graduate University. After driving a truck for a family business for the first few years after college I began my teaching career at Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord and I am today an adjunct professor of political science at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill. I live with my wife and two children in Pleasant Hill and am a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Pleasant Hill, as well. I am or have been a member of a number of professional and volunteer organizations and I am looking forward to serving on the Pleasant Hill City Council as your representative. Thank you.
