"I would like to heartily endorse Val Carpenter for re-election to the Los Altos City Council. Val has been a terrific support to me as a Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commissioner, and I found her advice and wise counsel very valuable during my time as Chair of the PARC. Val's hard work and dedicated service to Los Altos in many areas of community service have served this town well during her time on the City Council."

Thank you for the honor of serving you. For 10 years on the Los Altos City Council, Planning and Historical Commissions, I have advocated commonsense solutions in the long-term interest of the entire community. A resident for nearly 20 years, I strive to balance desired changes with preserving what is cherished.
I kept my commitments to you. I worked to manage City finances conservatively, maintain the character of residential neighborhoods, improve public safety and calm traffic, support community resources, and promote vibrant business districts.
If re-elected to my second and final 4-year term, I will continue to focus on maintaining balanced budgets and increasing reserves without cutting services. For the next four years, my priorities will be:
- prudent fiscal policy
- safer streets
- a thriving downtown
- community resources
- neighborhood character
- a strong local economy
Listening to you and working on your behalf is my top priority: the children my husband and I raised in Los Altos are grown; my schedule as a part-time college teacher is flexible. Important progress has been made; I'm ready to build on this solid foundation. Please Vote for Val on November 2nd.
