Letter to the Editor: Pleasanton Resident Likes Jerry Thorne's Support for Veterans

Information submitted by Joanne Gunson, Pleasanton resident:

Dear Editor,

The Mayoral election in Pleasanton should be summed up in two words: Jerry Thorne. Over the past two years he has been truly a mayor all day, every day. There is no reason to change that status, since we all benefit from Jerry’s productive full time service.

We can thank Jerry for some of the following accomplishments and current projects in his nine years of service as a councilman and Mayor: the long awaited and well used Stoneridge Drive extension; the Bernal Sports Park emerged with phase 2 construction set to begin; the once-forgotten Pioneer Cemetery on Sunol Boulevard is being refreshed. Just as important, but not very well-known, is Jerry’s support for our returning veterans that includes being there when each and every one of them arrives at home from their tours of duty.

Jerry also is at the forefront with a city-friendly welcome to businesses wishing to do business in Pleasanton. Not least in his mayoral routine is thanking and honoring those who do good in our community; Jerry recently honored Ken Mano with the Mayor’s Award for the many hours he devotes to community organizations. Please help reelect Jerry Thorne, a results oriented leader.

Joanne Gunson
