Dear Davis Community Members
On June 3, 2008, you will have an opportunity to vote for a strong voice to represent you on the Davis City Council. I would be honored to have your vote and be a strong voice for all, including working families, seniors, and students.
I am so excited to be running for Davis City Council. I've been working towards launching this campaign for months, but it reality this campaign has been in the making for years.
Ever since I attended UC Davis, I have thought of Davis as my home. My husband, David and I, have been so proud to be a member of what is really a wonderful and unique community. I have met many wonderful people here, and have seen such amazing displays of leadership and community involvement and activism. All of you here have inspired me.
I myself became involved in community activism many years ago as a student at UC Davis working on various campaigns to elect many of the leaders we have in Yolo County today. My goal has always been to be a strong voice for the City of Davis and for the people of Davis.
I now wish to give back to the community through public service to create an even better and more vibrant place to live. As a Labor Representative for state employees I advocate for fair and equitable treatment in the workplace for all. As a trained mediator I work in collaboration with others toward collective problem solving. As a past member of several commissions I understand the sacrifices of public service.
Davis is a very special community, and the qualities that make Davis such a special place needs to be protected. As your city councilmember I will work to protect open space and agricultural land. I will strive to maintain a strong level of public safety. I will promote transparency in government. And finally, working in concert with my colleagues, I will seek to develop a green city to make Davis a place that will be the environmental standard that the rest of the nation turns to once again.
As your councilmember, I pledge to maintain Davis' commitment to Measure J by keeping the citizen's right to determine our city's future. I will work with my colleagues to forge a new path to maintain a strong and vital downtown core while preserving our parks and open space.
There's another way that I will use my voice on the City Council as well - I will listen to, and speak up for ALL of the people of Davis. One of the best things about our town is the diversity of viewpoints in our community- I am proud of that diversity- and will fight to foster and protect the character of our town and our citizens. There are many community members in this town that know how to make their voices heard; however, others in our community do not. Listening to them, and being their voice on issues of city policy, is my true passion. I will be a strong voice for ALL of Davis.
I look forward to listening to your concerns and sharing with you mine in the coming months. I hope all of you will join me on this exciting journey. Thank you for visiting our website, I hope I can count on your vote on June 3, 2008.
Sincerely,
Cecilia
