PLEASANTON, CA — Pleasanton Planning Commissioner Jeffrey Nibert Monday announced his candidacy to represent District 1 on the Pleasanton City Council.

Nibert has served on the planning commission since March 2021, and is an active volunteer for the Cub Scouts, YMCA, and his church. In a campaign statement, Nibert said he will focus on “maintaining the unique character of Pleasanton that has drawn a diverse community to live here, while collaborating on solutions to the problems facing the city.” Nibert also said he would refuse contributions from developers.

Nibert is a retired engineer who has lived in Pleasanton for 35 years. He managed large projects and budgets at corporations like General Electric, Intel, and PG&E. He managed the engineering and construction of large gas transmission pipelines, the installation of hydroelectric turbines and hydro system improvements, and performed quality assurance for PG&E nuclear power plants.

Pleasanton Mayor Karla Brown endorsed Nibert, saying that “his engineering skills and projet experience will add new insights to the Council.”

“The values of respect, listening, serving, and being an engaged teammate will drive
me in tackling the challenges that face Pleasanton, as well as celebrating all that is good
with our town,” Nibert said in a statement. “My wife and I raised our three children in Pleasanton. This wonderful city and people have so much much to offer and have provided so much for our family. In the spirit of volunteering, I would like to give back by serving as their trusted representative.”
