I am supporting Carrie Downey for Mayor because she is the most qualified
candidate. She has demonstrated the ability to get things accomplished in
the system as a member of the City Council. She is a strong problem solver,
local resident advocate and a good listener. She brings the perspective of a
Naval Officer and a parent who had three children attend local Coronado schools.
I have seen her build consensus for projects. She has provided leadership
and worked well with other council members. She does research, listens and
does her homework. She is a tireless worker for local causes.
Some of her accomplishments include:
- Moving the Council meeting start time an hour later so it is
easier for the residents to participate. - Videotaping commission meetings so residents could watch what
happens rather than just read minutes. - Allowing Coronado residents to use School District playgrounds and
sports facilities for free. - Making rooms available in our beautiful new buildings at low prices
for Coronado residents and Coronado based non-profits. - Making some rooms available to Coronado residents for FREE when not
being used for Recreation Department programs for kids. - Putting lighting along 3rd & 4th to make it safer for pedestrians.
Join me in voting for Carrie Downey for Mayor of Coronado.
Dr. Laura Clapper
