Personal Quote:
"We expect our representatives to exercise prudent and experienced judgment to act in our best interest. We expect a personally level of respect to our points on policy issues affecting Moraga. We expect a level of trust and openness with respect to local governments. If you agree with me, the facts clearly show we need to make a choice on election day." –Dennis Wanken
