Mike Harris, who was running for the Pleasanton City Council, sent out an email yesterday announcing that he was suspending his campaign.

Harris wrote:

"Greetings all.

Unfortunately, I decided that it is best if I suspend my campaigning for City Council Member.  Due to upcoming personal reasons, I will not be able to serve as a City Council Member for Pleasanton.  I will still be on the ballot, since that cannot be changed now.  If I am elected, I will be required to resign.

Good luck to everyone, I enjoyed participating in the forum sessions with you.

Sincerely,

Mike Harris"

Thanks for your feedback. We sincerely appreciate it as it's nice to get some dialogue going on…Read More these blogs. Yes we realize that many businesses still rely on faxing. That's why we put this video together. So that way when the people who don't rely on them have to communicate with those that do, that they have an easy way to do so.
