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

Occupation: Member, Gilroy City Council
Age: 44
Education and Qualifications:
My great-great-grandparents settled in Gilroy in the 1800s and, other than while on active duty with the U.S. Navy, I have lived here my whole life. After attending Glen View Elementary, South Valley, and Gilroy High, I graduated from Gavilan College (A.A., Real Estate 1991) and U.C. Santa Cruz (B.A., Economics 1993), and earned a law degree from Santa Clara University in 1996.

Since 2002, I have been a partner with Terra Law LLP, a respected Silicon Valley firm, and served many years as a Temporary Judge with the Santa Clara County Superior Court. I bring expertise to the Council's frequent and difficult legal issues.

During my time on the Council (2007-2012), I have worked to balance the budget (despite tough times), while raising awareness about the $36 million-plus pension liability facing us. As the author of the Gilroy Open Government Ordinance, I remain committed to transparency.

As a husband and father of two young girls (ages 6 and 4), I want for my family what you want for yours. As a fourth-generation Gilroyan, I am focused on the long-term health and prosperity of our diverse community. My website is perrywoodward.com. I respectfully request your vote.
