Four years ago, you elected me to City Council. This past year, I've also served as Vice Mayor.

housing, neighborhood quality, sAet paving, traffic safety, flood proteetion, public safety, senior
services, and tae list goes on.
I'm running for re- election this year to continue this positive track record. I'm also running
beca here are challenges ahead. The City is experiencing decreased revenues and increased

We've accomplished a lot in that time. Much of that thanks to Measure Y. Open space
acquisitions, recreation facilities, bicycle trails, public art, downtown improvements, affordable

services, and the list goes on.
I'm running for re- election this year to continue this positive track record. I'm also running
because there are challenges ahead. The City is experiencing decreased revenues and increased
costs, particularly personnel costs. Council will need to make difficult decisions over the next
four years to balance our budget. Thanks to my knowledge of City programs, my business
background, and my analytical skills, I'm uniquely qualified to help make those decisions.
I also want to make sure we keep faith with Measure Y. That measure was passed to make up for
prior State takeaways and to fund new initiatives, not to pay for the increased costs of existing
programs.
I've been honored to serve you on Council these last four years. I hope you'll trust me with
another four years. I'd appreciate your vote. Thank you.

CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
There are basic principles of decency, honesty, and fair play which every candidate for
public office in the State of California has a moral obligation to observe and uphold in order that,
after vigorously contested but fairly conducted campaigns, our citizens may exercise their
constitutional right to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the people may be fully and
clearly expressed on the issues.
THEREFORE:
(1) 1 SHALL CONDUCT my campaign openly and publicly, discussing the issues as I
see them, presenting my record and policies with sincerity and frankness, and criticizing without
fear or favor the record and policies of my opponents or political parties that merit this criticism.
(2) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT the use of character defamation, whispering
campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks on any candidate or his or her personal or family life.
(3) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT any appeal to negative prejudice based on a
candidate's actual or perceived race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age, sexual orientation, sex, including
gender identity, or any other characteristic set forth in Section 12940 of the Government Code, or
association with another person who has any of the actual or perceived characteristics set forth in
Section 12940 of the Government Code.
(4) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT any dishonest or unethical practice that tends to
corrupt or undermine our American system of free elections, or that hampers or prevents the full
and free expression of the will of the voters including acts intended to hinder or prevent any eligible
person from registering to vote, enrolling to vote, or voting.
(5) 1 SHALL NOT coerce election help or campaign contributions for myself or for any
other candidate from my employees.
(6) 1 SHALL IMMEDIATELY AND PUBLICLY REPUDIATE support deriving from any
individual or group that resorts, on behalf of my candidacy or in opposition to that of my opponent,
to the methods and tactics that I condemn. I shall accept responsibility to take firm action against
any subordinate who violates any provision of this code or the laws governing elections.
(7) 1 SHALL DEFEND AND UPHOLD the right of every qualified American voter to full
and equal participation in the electoral process.
I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public office in the State of California or
treasurer or chairperson of a committee making any independent expenditures, hereby voluntarily
endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge myself to conduct my campaign in accordance with the
above principles and practices.

Chapter 5. Fair Campaign Practices
Article 1. General Intent
20400. The Legislature hereby declares that the purpose of this chapter is to encourage every
candidate for public office in this state to subscribe to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices.
It is the ultimate intent of the Legislature that every candidate for public office in this state
who subscribes to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices will follow the basic principles of decency,
honesty, and fair play in order that, after vigorously contested, but fairly conducted campaigns, the
citizens of this state may exercise their constitutional right to vote, free from dishonest and unethical
practices which tend to prevent the full and free expression of the will of the voters.
The purpose in creating the Code of Fair Campaign Practices is to give voters guidelines
in determining fair play and to encourage candidates to discuss issues instead of untruths or
distortions.
Article 2. Definitions
20420. As used in this Chapter, "Code" means the Code of Fair Campaign Practices.
Article 3. Code of Fair Campaign Practices
20440. At the time an individual is issued his or her declaration of candidacy, nomination papers, or
any other paper evidencing an intention to be a candidate for public office, the elections official shall
give the individual a blank form of the code and a copy of this chapter. The elections official shall
inform each candidate for public office that subscription to the code is voluntary.
In the case of a committee making an independent expenditure, as defined in Section
82031 of the Government Code, the Secretary of State shall provide a blank form and a copy of this
chapter to the individual filing, in accordance with Title 9 (commencing with § 81000) of the
Government Code, an initial campaign statement on behalf of the committee.
The text of the Code shall read, as follows: (See "CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN
PRACTICES" on reverse side).
