Elect Wang, Dunbar
for Livermore’s future
Livermore has a bright future. Green tourism can flourish thanks to agrivoltaics, solar-shaded walkways, and Lawrence Livermore Lab’s renown as the site of the world’s first successful fusion ignition. Visitors can stay at a new hotel downtown, and they can arrive on The Valley Link or other trains, continuing our proud heritage as a train town. Increased use of public transit will reduce congestion on Interstate 580 and pollution.
Within the city, better safety pathways combined with more e-bikes and other transit options ranging from buses to golf carts will alleviate parking woes downtown and decrease car collisions. Though we will need to build more housing, creating walkable communities near hubs of public and active transportation will allow Livermore to grow in a responsible and healthy way.
If you want my opinion on who would best serve as councilmembers to help our city adapt to the 21st century, they are Kristie Wang and Steven Dunbar.

As mayor, Singh would
fix Union City finances
I have lived in Union City for 20 years. The city’s finances are in very bad shape. Parks are deteriorating. The library is open only five days a week. New businesses are not coming in. We need someone more experienced in bringing in newer revenues and who can manage the city’s finances like that of a profitable business.
Gary Singh is that kind of a person and a leader. He went from door to door through the entire city introducing himself and talking and listening to voters. He has his own successful small business in Union City. As our mayor, Gary will prioritize attracting high-revenue businesses to our city, which will not only increase public funds and create local jobs but also cater to the community’s desire for more local dining and recreational choices.
Let us elect Councilmember Gary Singh as our next mayor of Union City.

Schweppe will fight
for Acalanes students
Stacey Schweppe is the most well-qualified candidate to join the Acalanes Union High School District governing board. Please vote for Stacey.
Stacey has been working on behalf of the students in our local public schools for over 20 years. She has been actively involved on school campuses as a parent leader and through multiple district sponsored committees, including the AUHSD parcel tax oversight committee.
As the parent of two AUHSD graduates, she has valuable perspective on what the district already does well for its students and what it can do better.
I worked alongside Stacey for eight years as a PTA volunteer. I know her to be thoughtful, practical and deeply engaged in the work of meeting the needs of our community’s kids.
I trust Stacey. I urge you to join me in voting for Stacey Schweppe for AUHSD governing board.
