Join the candidate to watch the results of the election as they are released by City Hall. The party will be a special time to thank the many people who worked for Ellen's campaign, and others in the community, who wish to share the evening with the campaign committee. Refreshments, including Ellen Berry Ice Cream, the special flavor concocted by Bert & Rocky's for Ellen's campaign, will be available.
Please go to The City of Claremont Website to see the "unofficial" results. Thanks to the many people who worked for Ellen's campaign. |
With an understanding of the past and an eye to the future, I will work to achieve
- wise land-use planning
- sensible economic development
- prudent and balanced fiscal decisions
- well planned affordable housing
- historic preservation
- improved town-gown relations
- hillsides preservation
- expanded public library service
- control over our resources
- regional solutions to transportation problems
Consensus building is one of the core attributes of leadership. Because of my ability to help groups arrive at consensus, I have been elected president or board chair of organizations as varied as Claremont's Traffic and Transportation Commission, the Claremont League of Women Voters, and the Claremont Chamber of Commerce. With your help and your vote, I can bring this background to the City Council.
Please get involved. I welcome your views and your donations of time, skills, and money. I need your involvement to succeed in this campaign.
