As we head towards the home stretch of the November 8 election, and for those who have not yet voted, let me share with you my thoughts of why I support and voted for Betsy Andersen, Jennifer Long, and Tom Ramsey for Piedmont City Council.
As a 40-year Piedmont resident, longtime volunteer for the City, former Mayor and City Council member, I know what it takes to effectively serve on the City Council. Betsy and Jennifer, as incumbents, have demonstrated their ability to listen to all viewpoints, thoughtful analysis of issues, being collaborative, their leadership, and have a commendable history of volunteering in our community.
I have met with Tom and am impressed with his professional background as an architect, service on the Planning Commission for seven years, and his many other volunteer activities, utilizing his professional experience and skills for the benefit of the community. Tom’s colleagues and neighbors have nothing but praise for Tom’s expertise, fairness, problem-solving and decision-making abilities, and leadership. Tom will be a strong addition to the Piedmont City Council.
