Letter to the Editor: Reader Likes Jerry Thorne for Mayor

Submitted by: Dave Melander of Pleasanton

Jerry Thorne, as a member of our Pleasanton City Council, has proved himself to be an effective, responsible leader and an independent thinker. He is a man of integrity, known for his “grass roots” efforts, who listens and works with us. His strong and experienced voice has helped bring more consensus and cooperation to the City Council resulting in decisions and actions that serve well Pleasanton’s people, businesses, and government.

Jerry is a trusted businessman, environmental engineer, family man, and community leader.

Jerry Thorne is well recognized for representing our Pleasanton City Council on
numerous regional, state and national commissions and boards. In Pleasanton he lead the fight for lighted, multi-use sports fields, for a teen center, for a youth club, and for civic arts facilities to be built on the Bernal Property. He has recognized the fast growing aging population in Pleasanton and is committed to continuing strong services to our Senior Center, and to promoting programs that provide assistance to seniors including improved transportation.

Jerry Thorne will be an outstanding Mayor of Pleasanton. We need his strong, and thoughtful leadership. Let’s get Jerry elected again.

-Dave Melander
