Candidate for
Council Member; City of Millbrae

Ann Schneider for Millbrae City Council

Millbrae is my home. I graduated from Meadows Elementary, Taylor Middle, Capuchino High School, and later UCLA. I returned home seven years ago to care for my parents, Richard & Jacqueline. I've completed remodeling our home and now have time to give to Millbrae.

I support our seniors' ability to stay in their homes, ensuring we live in a healthy community, caring for the environment and growing our economic base while supporting our existing businesses.

My life work supports these values: mentoring Mills' Green Youth Alliance students; counseling students on career opportunities; six weeks working on the San Bruno Gas Explosion as a Red Cross Disaster Volunteer; five years in economic development creating jobs, new businesses and expanding existing businesses, taught at University of California Santa Cruz/San Jose State University; managed cost effective recycling programs at Hewlett Packard and City of San Jose; led Sierra Club recycling projects, served on the countywide curbside recycling Task Force and led our effort to incorporate recycling into California's Climate Action Plans.

As your Councilmember I will: support public safety services; ensuring firefighter/police are fully staffed and funded; implement traffic calming for safe streets; expand programs for our seniors; retain and grow new businesses and create jobs.

I have the experience and qualifications to bring a fresh approach to Millbrae. I would be honored to have your vote.
