The mail-in ballots for the City Council special election will be arriving in SLO voters’ mailboxes. I am supporting Carlyn Christianson. I believe Carlyn to be an independent thinker who considers all sides of any issue. Her background proves she is extremely capable of taking the lead on a variety of issues, and works in a collaborative manner with colleagues and residents, in a positive way.
Carlyn also has the temperament that is desperately needed to help the council approach its serious tasks of governing without pettiness, favoritism, or retribution. We deserve the best in San Luis Obispo, and I believe with the options that will be on the ballot for voters this election, Carlyn Christianson is the most sincere, positive, and well-rounded candidate.
