Letter to the Editor: Mayor Says 'Elect Kathy Narum for City Council'

Mayor Jerry Thorne explains why he believes Kathy Narum is the best choice for the Pleasanton City Council.

Submitted by Jerry Thorne, Mayor of Pleasanton:

Dear Editor,

As Mayor of the City of Pleasanton I am frequently called upon to give my personal opinions on items pertinent to civic matters including candidates for elected office. Therefore, I must speak out in favor of Kathy Narum for the vacant Pleasanton City Council seat. Kathy’s experience as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner and Planning Commissioner as well as the other leadership roles that she has played on behalf of our community including six task forces, the Seahawks swim team and RAGE soccer show a results-oriented candidate.

This is experience that we need on the Council going forward.
Further, Kathy has proven herself to be an independent thinker who thoroughly evaluates a situation and makes decisions based on the benefit to the community as a whole. She does not make decisions based on who did or did not support her or on political ideology. Kathy and I may not always agree on things, but I have found her to be open minded and willing to listen to all points of view.
