PLEASANTON, CA — In addition to the 17 statewide measures on Tuesday's ballot, Pleasanton voters also considered Measure MM and decided on their city council.

I will continue working in a bipartisan manner to make sure our community has an independent and dedicated voice in the Legislature. I will work hard every day with every ability I have to earn your support."
