[Sosfbay-discuss] Jim Griffith for Sunnyvale, CA Council

[Caroline Yacoub]

I live in Sunnyvale. I have been disturbed by many things the Sunnyvale City Council has done. I care a great deal about getting new people on the council who will reflect my concerns. I read the campaign information about Jim Griffith and Penny Kelly. Neither of them is a Green, but one is a friend of a Green. I'm not sure that is enough to make me endorse him without actually talking to him. And if we are going to talk to him, I think it only fair to talk to his opponent.

Hi South Bay Greens,

My coworker, Jim Griffith is running for Sunnyvale City Council.

He's chair of the library board right now.

He's already racked up endorsements from, for example:

California League of Conservation Voters
Sierra Club
Silicon Valley Democratic Club

He's progressive and a stamp collector.  We call him stamp boy at work.

You should probably interview him for an endorsement.

This is the opponent:

Standard right-wing rhetoric, e.g.:

"Whether from loss of employment, a business that's struggling or fear that 
the highspeed rail or downtown building will take your property."



Jim hired me at my current job, so he must make some good decisions. :)

If it means anything, I'm Secretary of the Pacific Green Party 
of Oregon and Treasurer of the Portland Metro Chapter.

I was the Oregon Secretary of State candidate in 2008.

I don't know your policies regarding registration and endorsements.

I'm pretty sure he's registered Democrat.  He's no Blue Dog though.

Seth
