This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate

My name is: Karen L. Mendonca

My age is: 58

My occupation is: Incumbent/Former Mayor

Education and Qualifications:

After serving on the Moraga Town Council during the past four years--as Councilmember, Vice Mayor, and Mayor--l am seeking re-election. I served as Chair of the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority Board; member of the Audit and Finance Committee; liaison to Saint Mary's College, Moraga School District, and the Moraga Youth Involvement Committee, and founded monthly "Ask the Mayor" open public meetings.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working collaboratively with our community and Town staff in order to make informed decisions that both respect our Town's history and positively shape its future.

I earned my Ph.D. degree in Education with a specialization in Policy and Management Research from UC Berkeley and completed a 25-year administrative career with the California State University. My spouse and I have lived in Moraga since 1991.

If re-elected, I will continue to work to: protect Moraga's open space and semi-rural character; maintain our fiscally-responsible budget, including our reserves; repair and maintain our infrastructure (streets and storm drains); revitalize local businesses through responsible planning; fund public safety and support measures to ensure citizen safety; support and enhance our excellent schools.

I would appreciate your consideration and your vote.
