I find it very telling that Keith's biggest contributors are developers. Is it safe to assume that Tod Speiker is the same Tod Speiker who founded "Windy Hill Property Ventures"? Another developer.

We really need a City Council that is focused on the residents and not the developers. a team that will fix the problems that we all experience such as traffic, congestion, safe routes to schools for the kids, etc. None of which the current city council is working to address.

Keith came by my house passing out flyers while on her cell phone, bumped into me at my house, seemed surprised I was home, and awkwardly told me that she would be having a question and answer session sometime. I had never seen or heard of her before today and felt somewhat cynical seeing this woman only when she’s up for re-election. She left too quickly for me to ask her any questions or to introduce myself. I too find it very telling that her biggest donors are developers. The same ones that built that monstrosity of a building that’s an eyesore at night. I’ll be voting for Drew Combs.

Technically, Brian is not correct. Keith has multiple contributors of $1,000 from local residents, while her developer contributions are all under $1000. Also, several of the developers contributing to Keith appear to be exclusively housing developers. More housing will make a positive impact on the jobs/housing imbalance that contributes to afternoon gridlock that Brian is concerned about.

Keith recently circulated a flyer indicating she wouldn’t support new commercial development unless a solution to first mitigate the traffic impact can be implemented. Based on what @facts just wrote, can it be assumed the housing already stated for development in the General Plan is what she will claim is the mitigation? That’s the problem, you have to decipher her spin to figure out her intention.

"the facts",

In this article the biggest contributors are development companies of individuals that founded development companies. I do not see any individuals that are not related to developers who donated $1,000 or more. I even checked her reelection website and do not see any mention of contributors so I am not sure where you are getting your information, please share.

Let's look at her history for the last 8 years, not what she writes in her campaign material. She has been a friend of big developers and has not been a friend of the residents of District 2. Traffic has gotten worse and worse and we get empty promises and nebulous "we will do another traffic study in 2 years". It is time voters stand up and say we want a 2 term limit and we don't want the same thing we have had for the last 8 years. Time to replace the current council with one that actually cares about residents and their issues.

I also just received a flier from Keith, but it reads, "reduce traffic congestion," not "mitigate the traffic impact." There is no way to spin the words on the flier I received. I hope @There_it_is will bring his flier to Cafe Zoe and confront Keith.
