Pleasanton Resident Karla Brown to Run for Pleasanton City Council

Submitted by Karla Brown:

Karla Brown has just announced her plan to run for the office of Pleasanton City Councilmember this November.

Karla is well known among Pleasanton residents for being a slow growth advocate and co-chair of the “No on D - Save Pleasanton Hills” referendum in 2010.

She was also a proponent of Measure PP “Save Pleasanton's Hills and Housing Cap Citizens' Initiative” in 2008. Both measures were overwhelmingly passed by Pleasanton voters, providing permanent protection of our scenic ridges for future generations to enjoy.

Karla is on record of being a financially conservative candidate. She vows to work towards achieving a balanced city budget and to address the city’s growing pension debt, without sacrificing necessary city services. She is also an advocate of preserving Pleasanton’s heritage buildings and neighborhoods,
while encouraging downtown business owners to thrive with a variety of shopping options, wine tasting venues, both upscale and casual dining, acoustic music and more.

Karla Brown is a 20 year resident and a successful Pleasanton business woman. Alongside her husband Tim Belcher, they raised their 3 daughters in Pleasanton and were active volunteers for the , schools, and RAGE soccer.

They thoroughly enjoy all of the features of Pleasanton including our great downtown, Concerts-in-the-Park, First Wednesdays, bicycling, hiking, tennis and more.

Tim and Karla chose Pleasanton to raise their family for its small town feel, top rated schools and scenic natural surroundings. Karla plans to represent the citizens of Pleasanton, putting our residents’ interest above those of developers and political action groups. Visit Karla’s website Karla@Vote4Karla.com to learn more.
