Elections are coming up quickly—Nov. 6—and as a current San Luis Obispo City Council member, I enthusiastically support Heidi Harmon for mayor. I’ve had a front row seat for Heidi’s first term, and I have been very impressed. We don’t always align on specific solutions, of course, but I share her vision for our community, one that is inclusive and sustainable. She works hard, knows the issues and listens to diverse feedback. She serves tirelessly behind the scenes, connecting with residents of all ages, from all backgrounds, and she brings people to the table. Heidi inspires engagement with local issues and mentors future leaders. I look forward to continuing our important work together: improving our housing supply and affordability, supporting a healthy economy, and being leaders in environmental stewardship and climate action. Please vote Heidi Harmon for mayor.

She may be a wonderful and well intentioned person, but I sure do not like the direction the city has gone in lately. So I will be looking to vote for someone else who doesn’t think oversized buildings and less and less automobile parking in the downtown core are desirable directions.
22 Chorro was a really bad idea. I hope the earth swallows it whole and the cute little 1950’s style house right next to it can shine in the sun again. I don’t know if she had anything to do with that monstrosity but Heidi Harmon is a fraud, she represents why everyone is abandoning the left today. She dog whistles this 20th century radical left wing aesthetic, but is as self serving and neo-liberal as it gets. I mean small town politics is usually a corrupt circle jerk for bored rich people and developers, but she really takes the cake. (Vegan cake)
