Campaign Statement
As a citizen of Santa Clara, I can no longer sit back and see the city taken over by the San Francisco 49ers. We need to clean up Santa Clara and it starts with the council.
Santa Clara residents deserve better. I want to be sure we do not waste $500,000 on poor ballot measures that do not have the best interest of the residents. We need to invest in infrastructure that continues the outstanding services we receive from fire, police, and city services. We need to invest in our youth with activities such as sports and clubs outside of the home. When I look at my children and the children I have coached, I want them to know there is a bright future in Santa Clara.
The lack of ethics, honesty, and integrity is an embarrassment to this great city. We need to work as a team with proper debates, negotiations, and transparency to put Santa Clara back on track. I will make sure the council is held accountable and creates strategic plans that ensure the needs of all citizens are met for many years to come.
I am a 49ers fan, but Santa Clara comes first. The 49ers need to stick to football and stay out of politics. I ask for your vote.
Endorse David!
