Smart Voter Official Statement for Gary Edwards

Candidate for
Council Member; City of Sonoma

This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate

As citizens, we have the responsibility of writing the next chapters in the story of Sonoma. That story should build upon our rural heritage, and protect the quality of life that we all know and cherish.

As your representative on the Council, I'll focus on maintaining the services that we all rely on. Responsive emergency and public safety services are crucial, and I'll make sure these services are fortified instead of diminished. I'll also work on water supply planning that serves our long term needs.

Growth and traffic are issues that top everyone's agenda. I have plans for improving our road and pathway networks that will deliver real benefits. I'll support housing development that will provide opportunities for people of all walks of life to become members of our community. At the same time, I'll limit growth that isn't "smart" to maintain our identity as a agricultural community.

I'm committed to providing you with responsive leadership, and will focus on the ground level issues that are truly important. Let's work together to build a shared vision of our future, and make our era in Sonoma the best yet. Thank you for your vote.
