Candidate Statement

By Elizabeth Lewis

I promise to be the voice of reason, initiate ethics and governance oversight and transparency in proceedings; protect residents' rights to be heard, restore community unity, develop Master Plan for Civic projects and propose reasonable term limits.

I promise I will continue to listen and pursue the work the residents of Atherton have elected me to accomplish, such as: manage Atherton's limited financial resources, protect its rural character, be the voice of reason, initiate ethics and governance oversight insuring transparent proceedings while protecting residents' rights to be heard, restore community unity, develop Master Plan for civic projects, and propose reasonable term limits.

My husband and I have been Atherton residents since 1998. We love our neighbors and Atherton's rural character. It's been a wonderful place for our 4 children and 4 grandchildren, with great schools, sports fields, safe environment and pastoral Holbrook-Palmer Park.

Together we have accomplished a lot, but there is more to do. I would be honored to represent you again. So, I ask for your vote on November 6 as we go forward to make our family-friendly community in Atherton even better.
