By now, just about everyone is tired of the political rhetoric that floods the media and the online community. Win, lose or draw - the election is just about here so hang in there!
I'd like to post some thoughts on the Walnut Creek City Council race. As you know, there are 4 candidates running for 3 open positions. One of the candidates is incumbent Gary Skrel. Gary has been a positive force on the council and is certainly deserving of re-election.
Bob Simmons is a former WC Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Commissioner and most recently has served 2 years as a Planning Commissioner.
When the Almond-Shuey Neighborhood chimed in on the General Plan 2025 process, Bob was a thoughtful contributor who asked the right questions and offered his support in favor of our cause to protect the Almond-Shuey neighborhood. Bob offers experience and balanced leadership that will serve our city well. You can visit Bob's campaign website for more information.
Kish Rajan is another up-and-comer who shows great promise for Walnut Creek's future. Kish's professional background is in Mobile Technology Services. Having grown up and attending school in Walnut Creek, he is the only candidate and would be the only council member with school-aged children - three of them, in fact.
Kish also has experience serving our city on the Parking & Transportation Commission. I have had the pleasure of watching Kish speak at a few community forums. He is extremely well-versed on the issues that affect our city. Kish represents the next generation of leadership that our city will be well-served in electing. Please visit Kish's campaign website which includes his interview on Comcast newsmakers.
Remember to Vote on November 4 - SKREL - SIMMONS - RAJAN.
