Experienced, Independent Leader, Vision for San Leandro's Future

By Linda Perry

I am an independent voice. I will demand neighborhood input and focus on improving the quality of life issues for all.

I have lived my entire adult life in San Leandro having graduated from San Leandro High School and California State University, Hayward. Appointed to the first City of San Leandro Youth Advisory Committee at 16, I have been actively involved in our community. I see first-hand the diverse needs of our young families and children, as well as the seniors in my neighborhood, that are not being met by the City. That is why I am running for City Council. I am an independent voice. I will demand neighborhood input and focus on improving the quality of life issues for all of San Leandro. Let me know what issues are important to you, contact me at lindajperry@hotmail.com. Together we can make a better San Leandro. I ask for your vote on November 4th.
