I will bring new energy to rally the City to support our schools and young people, improve city services, and make Berkeley an environmental leader again. As your State Assemblymember, I passed landmark environmental legislation, dramatically expanding parks and open space. I brought critical funding to Berkeley’s schools. I am a person who gets things done. The incumbent has been on the Council for 20 years. For the past 8 years — although the economy was good -- our schools deteriorated, affordable rental housing diminished, Berkeley fell behind in environmental protection, and relations with the University of California declined. Berkeley deserves better. As Mayor, I will provide the leadership to meet these challenges. I have worked effectively with Berkeley residents, neighboring cities, and state and federal lawmakers. I’ll bring this

In the ten years I’ve been privileged to serve as your Councilmember, working to improve the quality of our neighborhoods, advocating for excellent education for all children, promoting sound environmental policies and affordable housing in this increasingly expensive market, we’ve made significant advances. We’ve realized our beautiful I-80 pedestrian bridge and funded important new health services. Escort teams bring safety to our BART station at night. Berkeley High’s Rebound Program helped potential dropouts become successful students, Solar Energy principles are taught in the schools, and students perform energy-saving retrofits of our homes. We’ve built soccer fields and resurfaced the sports courts in our parks. Totland is more wonderful than ever, with its exciting Young Artists Workspace. Magnificent community gardens on Peralta adjoin our inspiring Berkeley EcoHouse. Increasingly a magnet for “green business,” we’ve limited fast-food and auto- related uses on San Pablo. A straw-bale Nature Center is coming to the Marina, an older children’s playground to Ohlone, a bicycle-pedestrian path on the old Santa Fe tracks, and an International Food District to University and San Pablo. I’m honored to receive Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s endorsement and look forward to continue working, with you, to improve our community. 10.

I have been a friend, neighbor, wife, caregiver for a hospice patient, widow, single mother and will soon be an empty nester. A neurological illness left me in a wheelchair for a year. I have been a low income tenant of the City and have been responsible for the maintenance and property taxes on my home. I’ve rented commercial space for my business, and I’ve also been homeless. In the Oceanview neighborhood and through my work with the PAC, I’ve fought continuously to open the political process so that everyone can be heard. My wide range of experiences has allowed me to consider many viewpoints. I think that I could represent West Berkeley residents in the Council, and will fight to ensure that information is available in advance so that everyone can consider and comment on actions that will affect them. Public participation is not only a right, but a responsibility, and the public needs accurate information to make informed decisions. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. For the last two years, I have watched almost every City Council meeting. Week after week as I watch, I see a Council that does not address major Berkeley issues. There is a critical need for more housing downtown which is affordable for both moderate and low-income tenants. At the July 23 Council meeting, Dona Spring voted against one apartment building and then skipped the votes on two others. I would vote for more downtown housing and I would not skip the controversial votes. The streets and sewers are falling apart faster than they can be repaired. It takes $7 million a year just to repair the streets; yet the Council has only spent $3 million to maintain them. If elected, I would reallocate the budget to adequately fix sewers and streets. Crime in Berkeley is soaring. In 2001 major crimes in Berkeley increased by 19.6%—more than any other city in the Bay Area. If I am elected, I would set a goal to reduce crime by 20% and require the Police Chief to meet with the Council bi-monthly to detail progress towards achieving that goal. The City Council can’t continue to ignore these critical issues facing Berkeley. 10. I refer to the following residents of the City of Berkeley: Shirley Dean, Mayor, 934 Santa Barbara Road Deborah A.

As a parent, I originally became involved in our community hoping to make Berkeley a better and safer place for my son. During the past decade, I have been a tireless advocate for citizen participation and open government. My longtime involvement and commission service have given me an excellent understanding of the workings of our city. I believe my independent voice can bring common sense and civility to our slate-driven, grid-locked council. Our council needs a watchdog, particularly to curb poor financial choices such as the purchase of a toxic industrial site to create athletic fields, and acquisition of so-called smart parking meters. I have helped to safeguard our community by pressing for changes in our city’s environmental policies, including higher groundwater and air quality standards, and better cleanup of toxic sites. My strong leadership abilities will be invaluable in solving our worsening local problems: balancing the need for more housing while respecting our neighborhoods, dealing with the huge expansion of the university, crime, traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety. Our diverse, vibrant District 4 deserves better representation. It’s time

Count on me to continue supporting services for students, tenants, disabled, youth, seniors and for park improvements, recycling, and the arts. I successfully banned cigarettes from tot lots and cigarette and alcohol billboards near schools. Funding after school programs is a priority. I’m a strong advocate for affordable housing, job training and detox programs to reduce homelessness in Berkeley.

As manager of Fenwick Weavers Village (USCA property) I learned new ways of communicating with many different types of people. I mediated and problem solved sensitive issues. As a board member for the Center of Independent Living I gained newfound respect for the awesome responsibilities our local community centers take upon themselves. As one of the many people who worked on getting

Measure E passed, I had the honor of participating in a grass- roots movement that guaranteed emergency attendant services to our disabled population. As a former member of the Zoning Adjustment Board I’ve made decisions that will effect a lot of people for a long time. As the representative of our district, I would ensure that the interests of our residents come first. The downtown district of any City is its heart and soul. It’s where the majority of us congregate, celebrate, and debate amongst each other in a safe positive atmosphere. It has been too long since we had that here in Berkeley. It’s about time we bring it back. 10. I refer to the following residents of the City of Berkeley: Valentine Illidge Ayal Amzel Margaret Slack Meredith Story Joan Alexander

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Like many in Berkeley, I came here with a vision to chase and a future to pursue. Berkeley dedicates itself to being socially responsible, protecting the environment, and providing affordable housing and access to people with disabilities. But there remain many areas that need improvement: traffic congestion and parking, revitalization of the Telegraph area, safety for students and residents, and People’s Park. We live in a district with diverse needs, but many of our goals are the same. Unfortunately, the City Council has been plagued by petty factionalism, which blocks progress in balancing the needs of students, tenants, homeowners and merchants. I will be an independent, progressive voice that votes on the merits of issues and builds consensus. I bring experience as a student leader and activist, small business owner, and the president of a non-profit organization. With your support, I will advocate for: affordable housing that respects neighbohoods, increased lighting and safety, restoration of fair process and transparency in government, protecting neighborhoods from UC and Alta Bates Hospital development, and encouraging a healthy climate for neighborhood merchants. Together we can make our area the best of Berkeley! I’d appreciate your vote. 10. I refer to the following residents of the City of Berkeley: Shirley Dean, Mayor, 934 Santa Barbara Rd.

The place of my birth is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 5. My present occupation is Berkeley City Council member. 6.

Record of community service: Sierra Club Chair, NOW, NAACP, East Bay Lesbian Gay Club, Telegraph Area Association (Chair, Public Safety Committee), Berkeley Safe Neighborhood Committee, LeConte Neighborhood Association. 8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Being City Councilman is a wonderful opportunity to help many people with city problems, and promote positive public policy ideas. I work hard on neighborhood concerns: Telegraph, traffic, housing, safety, and the development impacts of UC and Alta Bates. Strong environmental policies won me early endorsement by the Sierra Club. While advocating for disabled services, affordable housing, and a fiscally responsible budget, I fight for our neighborhood share of street and sidewalk repairs, water and storm drain upgrades, safety and lighting- the nuts and bolts of city services. As promised, I appointed more students and neighborhood residents to our city commissions with greater diversity of age, race and gender. Endorsers include: Congresswoman Barbara Lee; Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson; Assemblywoman Dion Aroner; ex-Assemblyman Tom Bates; former Mayor Loni Hancock; City Council members Margaret Breland, Linda Maio, Maudelle Shirek and Dona Spring; Peralta Trustees Darryl Moore and Alona Clifton; School Board members Terry Doran and John Selawsky; Rent Board members Max Anderson, Mark Janowitz, Howard Chong, Selma Spector, Paul Hogarth, Matt Siegel, Sharon Maldonado; Graduate Assembly President Jessica Quindel; ASUC Vice Presidents Jimmy Bryant and Tony Falcone; Emeryville Mayor Ruth Atkin; BART director Roy Nakadegawa; and AC Transit director Rebecca Kaplan. 10.

Record of community service: Anti-war activist, campaigned for Ralph Nadar 2000, organizer of Immigrant Pride Day in SF and Papers For All campaign, fighter against HIV/AIDS pandemic. 8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Berkeley has become one of the most progressive communities in the country, but working people here lack a politically independent voice. I will help develop that. I will mobilize students and residents to make UC Berkeley, our largest employer, respect the needs and desires of people in the city. UC must compensate fully for the housing, transportation and municipal services it utilizes. UC’s contributions to nuclear weaponry, investment in Israel and promotion of private appropriation of publicly- funded scientific production must end. I want progressive taxation for improved public services, not cuts. UC must contribute to public schools to serve the Bay Area’s diverse communities. I want a UC run by an elected council of students and workers, not the undemocratic Regents, appointed by Democratic and Republican politicians. Union rights and good living standards should be guaranteed for all campus workers. Berkeley should have a say in UC hiring practices. I want to restore and expand affirmative action. I strongly oppose anti-immigrant attacks and will fight for full civil rights for immigrants in Berkeley.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Whether it’s transportation, safety, or housing, I’ve fought to improve our community. I helped negotiate the Class Pass that gives students an incentive to take public transit and reduces traffic. I worked to install more lighting and blue safety phones to reduce crime. I helped create the Rental Housing Safety Program to improve housing code enforcement and fire safety. I organized housing summits that brought city and state officials together with neighborhood leaders to approve state housing legislation. As a Zoning Commissioner, I protected our neighborhoods from inappropriate development and institutional expansion. My experience and accomplishments have prepared me to be an effective voice for all residents. As your councilmember, I will work to expand transit passes to university faculty and staff, and I will enforce speed limits near our homes and schools. I will protect tenants’ rights and force landlords to follow the law. I will fight to ensure the police and fire departments have the resources they need, and I will repair failing infrastructure. I will support affordable housing near transit corridors and fight to keep inappropriate development out of our neighborhoods. As a full-time councilmember, I will always fight for the issues that matter to you. www.andykatz.org 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. I moved into District 8 over 30 years ago as a Cal student and never left. Berkeley was then and is now an exciting place; open to new ideas, with an innovative spirit. It’s a place we can all be proud to call home. That’s why my wife Evie and I chose to raise our two children, Karla and David, in Berkeley. On the Parks and Planning Commissions, I demonstrated that there are creative ways to solve problems and improve service, without more taxes. I want to do the same on the City Council. Berkeley needs a city-wide traffic plan that promotes carpooling and alternate routes that avoid residential neighborhoods. We need to bridge the communication gap with UC and with Oakland to solve our mutual problems. We need more streetlights, police officers on foot and an efficient fire prevention plan. Over the years, I have earned the respect of people across the political spectrum for approaching problems independently and thoughtfully. That would be my goal on the Council. It is time for Berkeley to move beyond partisan politics and I hope to lead the way, for District 8 and for the City of Berkeley. Vote Wozniak. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. A large percentage of Berkeley parents (twice the national average) send their children to private schools. This is shameful in a University town. Furthermore, these parents are not represented on the School Board. My family’s experience, paying $100,000 in private school tuition for grades 1 through 8 for our two children, gives me a perspective desperately needed on the School Board. Taxpaying Berkeley parents should not have to wait until high school (or never) to send their children to public school. This opinion, drowned out by special interests, should be heard on every issue before the School Board. As a Boalt Hall graduate and attorney, I received a California State Senate Fellowship, becoming a full-time consultant to the Senate Education Committee in the Capitol in Sacramento. I learned what politics is like - too many professional politicians and career activists - so I left the state legislature, studied medicine, and became a physician. Now, twenty years later, if you want to send your kids to public school, vote for me as your candidate for School Board, so your voice can be heard - and vote against measure K.

Yet much of the effort is lost because of inconsistent leadership, poor fiscal management, lack of openness and cooperation. Our school system is at a turning point. We must respond to the financial crisis and longstanding educational problems with an open public process, accountability and community involvement. Commitment to quality education for all children should be our top priority and should guide all decisions. I bring a vision of openness, accountability and collaboration to the Berkeley School Board, and I have the experience and the track record to implement it - post-graduate degree, a background in business development, a decade volunteering in public schools and serving as President of the Berkeley PTA Council. I have two children in Berkeley public schools. Every child deserves a safe welcoming school that encourages creativity, builds self-esteem and cultivates the skills, knowledge and habits needed for life-long learning. As a community we have the resources and the will to ensure an outstanding education for all students. Please join us in making this vision a reality-building a collaborative community for our schools.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Berkeley has extraordinary resources, rich diversity, incredible community spirit. Our schools can be excellent, but it’s no secret that: our district is in financial crisis; staff are demoralized; many children are failing; families opt for private schools; students lack books, computers, clean bathrooms, nutritious lunches; parents feel unwelcome; Berkeley’s state rankings are consistently mediocre. I’ve volunteered for nine years, promoted literacy, advocated for children and more parent participation, cleaned up schools, started school gardens, raised money, chaired School Site Councils and PTAs, served on BUSD and BSEP committees. I know the BUSD, schools, and issues. Our families want effective, child- centered schools, including: capable, enthusiastic teachers; safe, positive learning environments; high expectations for all students; sufficient books; fully-functioning libraries; strong arts and technology programs; reliable communication. We need a School Board responsive to families and teachers. The BUSD must have clear goals, competent management, efficient procedures, community partnership, a commitment to excellence. I favor shared-governance, with teachers, parents and principals collaborating to ensure smarter decisions, accountability, program evaluations, alignment with state standards and district goals. As an information professional and library administrator for 28 years, I will use my knowledge, energy, and skills to make Berkeley schools excellent. 10.

While at Berkeley High School my attention shifted from campus problems to district wide problems. Such as the mismanagement of funds, lack of community representation, and fear of speaking on the race problems currently plaguing our district. As a person fortunate enough to have spoken several times to the Caifornia Senate Education Committee, California State Board of Education and The Superintendent of California Public Schools I know what the state expects and thinks of Berkeley Schools. I am here to make sure these views change. As a school board member I would bring Berkeley back to setting national trends not following them. Such as forming diverse committees of students, parents, teachers and other community members that report directly to the School Board. Berkeley needs someone who is willing to speak out and not just agree with every thought brought forth by our superintendent. I am that person. 10.

After 32 years as a teacher, administrator, union activist and four years as a School Board Director I want to continue providing leadership to the school district. By maintaining connections with parents, students, labor, and the community I have delivered on promises I made four years ago. My goal to reorganize Berkeley High School into small schools to better serve all students begins next year. We have negotiated a great contract with our staff and improved new-teacher support systems that are persuading bright, new teachers to stay in Berkeley schools. We have strengthened early literacy programs in K-3 and improved math curriculum in all grades. We have developed plans to correct our financial and management problems, and I am proud that my work has contributed to laying the foundation for financial stability and better service. While Board President, I guided the process to hire a new Superintendent, and during my four-year term we have improved practically every District department with new hires and systemic changes. If reelected I will work for a better and closer relationship between the schools and the city. I will uphold my commitments to our community and schools with integrity and openness. www.terrydoran.com. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. Four years ago, I said that dirty, broken bathrooms at Berkeley High were a metaphor for a “dysfunctional system that did not work at any level.” I focused on fixing our broken systems in order to achieve our educational goals. During my first term, together with community support, we won adequate maintenance and safety funding for our schools. I introduced the “Writers’ Room” program to Berkeley High, which is improving student achievement and closing achievement gaps. This year as president, I guided the Board through the adoption of a fiscal recovery plan, took decisive steps to secure High School accreditation, and facilitated consensus on a responsible approach for moving Berkley High School toward smaller learning communities. I seek re-election to secure continued progress. My agenda includes: implementing accountability systems that help us monitor progress and report on results; developing a safe environment that fosters teaching and supports learning; supporting sensible educational goals for high school students--all graduates will be ready to pursue postsecondary education and training without remediation. Solutions that divide our community do not work. With your vote, I will use my professional training and Board experience to foster collaboration and produce effective results for all our children. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. I am a 24-year Berkeley resident with two children in Berkeley public schools. I earned MBA and BS degrees from UCB and I have a CPA license. In eleven years of volunteer work leading many key BUSD oversight and advisory committees, I have championed collaborative decision-making informed by rigorous analysis and open community participation. The focus of our teachers should be on our children, not on a fiscal crisis. I believe that only by establishing and maintaining financial integrity can the Board insure that our limited resources are used effectively. Our scarce dollars must go to our kids. As a financial professional, I believe that financial oversight will be my key contribution to the Board. I am committed to sustainable implementation of reform at BHS, to both staff and curriculum development and to updating BSEP (insuring smaller class size, full funding of the music program, library support and diverse student support and enrichment programs). I staunchly believe that public education is the great social equalizer and key to building a strong democracy and a humane world. I will work to advance quality public education and to provide, for all children, equal access to that education. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. For over a decade, I’ve been an advocate for Section 8 and Public Housing residents. I am co-founder of Residents/Tenants Awareness In Action, Incorporated. As an Ameri-Corps Vista member and community organizer, I’ve gone door-to-door rallying tenants, educating them regarding their rights and responsibilities. I’ve organized residents’ councils in many communities providing them with tools to help themselves. I pledge to work to provide every possible protection for tenants in keeping Berkeley a caring and diverse community for the poor, disabled, elderly, artists, students and other vulnerable populations. I will help extend education to both landlords and tenants alike in order to promote better understanding and utilization of the Ordinance. I will support services for tenants in keeping their units. I will vigorously support the enforcement of the habitability, health and safety codes because doing so shields the most vulnerable from violation of their rights. I support the transfer tax in retrofitting seismically unsafe affordable housing. In the midst of a devastating housing shortage and skyrocketing prices, maintaining stable rents while creating more affordable housing are essential. Join Keith Carson and others – vote for the progressive team of Chong, Evans, Kavanagh, Payne and Spector. 10.

The office for which I am a candidate is Rent Stabilization Board Commissioner. 3. That my residence is 1639 Ninth Street. 4. The place of my birth is Santa Barbara, CA. 5. My present occupation is Housing Rights Attorney. 6. I have held the following public offices: Judge Pro-Tem, Municipal and Superior Courts. 7. Record of community service: Activist in areas of housing and labor rights. 8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. I have been active in the political and legal defense of affordable housing since 1969. As a lawyer specializing in housing law, I understand the details of state law and of the Berkeley Rent Ordinance. Rent Board regulations and policies can make our law work the way Berkeley residents intend. As a housing activist, I know tenant organization and political action is needed to supplement the law. My experience as a lawyer has trained me to listen and understand landlords’ problems and to recognize and avoid unfair actions that will make our law vulnerable to legal or political attack. The people of Berkeley have made it clear that they want strong, effective rent and eviction controls to preserve affordable housing and a diverse community. Recently, the greatest threat to housing preservation has come from landlord-sponsored legislation at the state level, such as the Costa–Hawkins “vacancy decontrol” law. The Rent Board must be vigilant in resisting such threats, and creative in maintaining the protections that Berkeley wants. Supervisor Keith Carson urges you to help preserve affordable housing and protect against unfair evictions by voting for the progressive team of Chong, Evans, Kavanagh, Payne and Spector. 10.

4. The place of my birth is Berkeley, CA. 5. My present occupation is Middle School Teacher. 6. I have held the following public offices: Commissioner, City of Berkeley Housing Advisory Commission; Member, City of Berkeley Housing Trust Fund sub-committee; Member, City of Berkeley Housing Codes and Inspection sub-committee. 7. Record of community service: Member, Green Party of Alameda County Central Council (1996-1998); Alliance for AC Transit; Sierra Club; Committee to Minimize Toxic Waste; Southside Plan process. 8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. I’m a veteran affordable housing activist and serve on Berkeley’s Housing Advisory Commission. A Berkeley renter since 1978, I’m a UC Berkeley alum and middle school teacher. The Rent Stabilization Board is perhaps the single most important elected body in Berkeley. The Rent Board directly impacts 19,000 rent controlled tenant households citywide. After a new renter has moved into his/her unit, Rent Board commissioners, subsequently, determine each unit’s rent ceiling annually. Berkeley is in the midst of an unprecedented affordable housing crisis. This housing crisis continues to impact all Berkeley citizens, especially students, seniors, disabled, families, and middle and low income working people. If elected, I will work vigorously to defend and preserve Berkeley’s affordable housing stock, and the city’s landmark 1980 Rent Stabilization Ordinance. By maintaining stable rent ceiling levels, the 1980 Rent Ordinance has enabled literally tens of thousands of residents to live–and remain–in Berkeley over the past twenty years. To provide Berkeley with hundreds of new, sustainable affordable housing units in the future, please vote “YES” on Measure M, and vote “NO” on Measure P. Please join Supervisor Keith Carson in supporting affordable housing Rent Board slate candidates Chong, Evans, Kavanagh, Payne and Spector. 10.

I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. As a Rent Stabilization Board Commissioner, I have worked to defend the rights of tenants in Berkeley. As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley, I know personally the difficulty of finding and maintaining affordable, habitable housing in Berkeley. As a community and environmental activist, I have also worked to bring citizens together to improve our common quality of life. With increasing evictions and rents rising due to vacancy decontrol, the Rent Board must continue to protect the essential right to housing for Berkeley's tenants— especially for low-income, disabled, senior citizen, and student populations. I will work to ensure that every renter knows their rights and how to exercise those rights. Although we have clear and strong laws regarding security deposits, smoke detectors, and proper heating/ventilation, hundreds of tenants have unnecessarily suffered. We must break down these obstacles that threaten our community. Defending the right to housing, the Rent Board is essential in protecting Berkeley’s treasured diversity. I am supported by Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson in addition to the residents of Berkeley below. To sustain and expand fair protections for tenants, vote for Chong, Evans, Kavanagh, Payne, and Spector. 10.

Record of community service: As a performer with “Ladies Against Women”, I have participated in many benefits, conferences, and community events for socially progressive organizations. 8. I am a taxpayer in the City of Berkeley. 9. It has been a privilege and a challenge to serve on the Rent Board these past four years. We have made many improvements to make rent control work better for everyone. The hearings appeal process has been made more user-friendly by allowing both landlords and tenants more time to state their cases and reply to the opposing argument. We have clarified the right of tenants to replace roommates, so that those who cannot afford to live alone will not face eviction. We have expanded our monitoring of owner move-ins and Ellis evictions following the overwhelming passage of Measure Y by Berkeley voters. In cooperation with other City agencies, we are working to improve residential inspections to make sure that all our homes are safe and habitable. As a Berkeley tenant for forty years, I appreciate the advantages of being able to raise one’s family in a diverse, stable neighborhood. Without rent control, this would have been impossible. If re-elected, I promise to work my hardest so that today’s renters will continue to be able to live in our exceptional city.
