David Durant's Ballot Statement

In 1999, you elected me to be a positive, effective, independent voice on our Council. I have been that voice.

As Mayor, Redevelopment Chair and Councilmember, I have championed greater openness, respect and cooperation on the Council, and better communication between you and your city government. I make decisions with common sense, integrity, dignity and fortitude. I’ve pursued regional cooperation and careful long-term planning that ensures our city’s financial health and well-being. I’ve reached across old divides to build partnerships for the betterment of our community.

I have made tough choices to streamline our government operations. I’ve pursued responsible and equitable policies, especially those that protect and enhance neighborhoods, support our businesses, promote safety, and improve city services. I’ve been a strong advocate for Pleasant Hill, improving school conditions and flood protection, enhancing police services, and protecting your local tax dollars.

With your help, I will continue tirelessly pursuing our shared vision of a brighter future for Pleasant Hill: more efficient and effective city services, a dynamic Contra Costa Center, a library with greater programs and services, more parks, improved education, and continued protection for our neighborhoods.

Together, we can keep improving Pleasant Hill. Please re-elect me, David Durant.

Thank you.
