Hayward, Heart of the Bay

By Francisco Zermeņo

Time to have our City Realize its Potential

My family and I have lived in Hayward for over three decades. Our children attended public schools in Hayward. My wife and I have run a family business and we are committed to providing jobs for the community, right here in Hayward.

I love this city and I would be honored to serve as your Mayor.

I'm confident that Hayward can do better to live within its means, just as every family, and I know we can use our limited resources more efficiently, just as every business does.

I pledge to help restore pride and confidence in City Hall and balance the books in a way that upholds our commitments to our downtown businesses, our local schools, hospital, neighborhoods, and quality of life

Before being elected to the city council in 2008, I served 10 years in appointed positions of community service, including the Library and Planning Commission. As a 35-year full-time tenured educator at Chabot College I have had the great honor to work with other educators, to help improve educational standards as well as to assist in making education accessible to our youth. I believe that the future of Hayward is linked to our schools and our higher education systems.

On the Council, I have worked to develop our city's 2014-2018 Economic Development Strategic Plan and our General Plan to effectively guide our future economic focus, the beautification of Hayward, and the refurbishing of Downtown.

I am ready to lead our Fine City, and believe that together we can make Hayward a better community in which to live, learn, work, shop and play.

I would be honored to earn your support, endorsement, a contribution, and your vote!
