Final Stretch Volunteers

We are in the final stretch now with only five days to go.  I’d like to let everyone know what we’ll be doing to try to bring in more votes in the last days and how you can help:
Thursday: I am trying to finish up work early so I can put in 3 hours of [...]

Election Day is Coming Up

If this is your first time at this site, please take a look around and feel free to call me (299-1807) or e-mail me with any questions.
To all of my dedicated supporters, I have a request for help if you can offer it.  I will need a great deal of volunteer help on election day.  [...]

Poll: Do You Plan to Bullet Vote?

I believe that we can expect at least 4,000 and maybe as many as 6,500 people to vote for all three incumbents.  I may be pleasantly surprised, but this means that we need a great many people to “bullet” vote.  A bullet vote is one that is cast for only one candidate, even though multiple votes can be [...]

Consultants and Getting Out the Vote

Do you like that Lafayette’s City Council spends tens of thousands of dollars on consultants who explain how we can change Lafayette into Walnut Creek?  How about the money that goes to consultants to try and pass new taxes?  I certainly don’t.  If you don’t, then there is something we can do about it.  Help [...]

Last City Council Meeting

The last City Council meeting revolved largely around two issues:
The first issue was that of issuing bonds to fund the $50M library we are building in Lafayette.  With credit markets seized up this will be costly and will still fall $2M or $3M dollars short.  The library will have to borrow the money from the [...]

Solicitor Law Pushed Off

The Crime Commission has been trying for two years to pass a law that would require solicitors to obtain a license.  Our police want this law passed as soon as possible and believe it would go a long way toward making our town safer (click above link to learn more).  The Council has dragged its [...]

Lafayette Vistas

As I have stated before, the Lafayette Vistas, including the one that came out today, is a taxpayer-funded piece of propaganda for whomever runs the city at that time.  The fact that the city publishes it with taxpayer money is like an ice cream cone that demands money to lick itself.  I do believe that we [...]

Setting the Record Straight on Donations

Did anyone notice something odd about the Thissen article in the Lamorinda Sun on donations to Lamorinda campaigns?  For one, you may have noticed that the other candidates have completely outpaced me on fundraising and have accepted a great deal of money from local business concerns.  The part of the article that touches on my own fundraising reads, [...]

Update

First off, thank you to everyone who has helped out with the campaign.  If you want to be added to my e-mail update list – I don’t send a lot of e-mails – let me know. 
 
The campaign is going well and we’ve really been able to get our message out there.  I just spoke at [...]

Lafayette’s Homeowners’ Council Forum

Tonight was, more or less, another debate night, hosted by the Lafayette Homeowners’ Council.  Things went well, though I usually spoke first and could not then rebut others’ statements.  This presented a difficulty, since other candidates have a different version of the facts than I do.  For instance, Councilmembers Anduri and Federeghi portrayed the Council as [...]
