On January 19, 2016 members of the public requested that Menlo Park Fire Protection District board members ask Ms. Kiraly to resign, citing the Doctrine of Incompatible Office. Ms. Kiraly chose to ignore public concern and has retained her seat on the Fire District Board. She is currently serving simultaneously on two elected special district boards in San Mateo County.

On February 3, 2016 an elected special district board member stated that Ms. Kiraly is violating state law by serving simultaneously on two special district boards with overlapping and conflicting public duties.

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other. —Matthew 6:24

It should be noted that Ms. Kiraly served on the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury for two years from 2007-2009 and as Foreperson from 2008-2009. In 1999 the San Mateo County Grand Jury recommended that all candidates be made aware that individuals cannot hold incompatible offices. If a candidate is appointed or elected to an office that is incompatible with the first office, the first office becomes vacant upon the taking of the second office.

Obey the law.

I am voting for Ms. Kiraly because she puts the people ahead of her personal ambition. She is a kind gentle soul who never has a harsh word for anyone. Humility is her hallmark and empathy is her trade. We are so fortunate to have such a selfless person who reminds one of Gandhi.
