Candidate for
Member, City Council; Town of Los Altos Hills

Testimonials:

"It was my pleasure to serve with Emily for two years on the Planning Commission. Her balanced approach of listening to all residents and promoting win-win solutions will enable her to be an enormous asset to our community as our next Council member!"
-Steve Finn
Mayor pro-tem

"Her conscientious, thoughtful, and considerate demeanor have gained her the respect of town staff, all Planning Commissioners (even those who differ with her philosophy), Council members, and all residents who have met her."
-Toni Casey
Mayor '89-90,'96-97

"Her character, integrity, honesty and her record of outstanding service for eight years on the Planning Commission make her the clear outright choice for our next Council member."
-Evan Wythe, M. D.
President, Los Altos Hills Civic Association

"It is clear that Emily's positions on town issues, and her exceptional record as a Planning Commissioner for eight years make her the obvious choice for City Council. With her election, we will have a Council that respects the majority viewpoint of our town!"
-Amir Rosenbaum
Chair, Town's Technology Committee

"Not only will Emily bring a wealth of experience to the City Council on the most volatile of issues facing this town (housing approvals), but she also brings her impeccable negotiation skills and a calm, intelligent and personalized demeanor. I see these as critical skills to have in these days when issues before the City Council are so controversial and emotionally charged."
-Lisa Vellequette
Former President, Los Altos Hills Civic Association

"Serving with Emily Cheng on the Planning Commission for 3 years, I saw her give a different and positive perspective to the vast and complex issues facing our residents. She ALWAYS worked for a solution, which best served our residents, as well as solutions to end the subjectivity and divisiveness, which existed on the Planning Commission. Emily will restore a much needed balance to our City Council."
-Shelley Doran LeFevre
Former Planning Commissioner

"Emily Cheng has been a capable, conscientious, and forward-thinking Planning Commissioner for the past eight years. She will make an excellent Councilwoman!"
-Larry and Ruth Chu

"Emily has demonstrated integrity, patience, and a high level of dedication to the concerns of residents. With Emily on the Council, we have a great opportunity to improve the process of seeking permits for all residents."
-Wilf and Sigrun Corrigan

"On March 7, we must elect an individual to the City Council who believes in democratic values and the inherent rights of property owners to have privacy, security, and peace of mind. Please join me in voting for Emily Cheng."
-Dominick A. Curatola, M.D.

"With the election of Emily, we have a wonderful opportunity to add another Council member who will join in the leadership of Toni Casey and Steve Finn to see that Los Altos Hills continues to preserve its character, while becoming much more user-friendly."
-Nan and Jack Horton

"Emily's experience will bring a new level of cohesiveness to the City Council. In short we think Emily Cheng is highly qualified and clearly our best choice to lead our community into the millennium."
-George and Judy Marcus

"Emily Cheng is a marvelous, sensible, intelligent person. How fortunate we are to have someone of her integrity and character to be willing to serve the Los Altos Hills residents on the City Council. I support her wholeheartedly."
-Victor Riches
Founder, Pinewood School

"When we went before the Planning Commission with our new home plans, Emily was the only voice who listened and understood all of the issues. She is likable and courteous. She knows all of the rules and regulations. When you go to town hall, you will be glad to see Emily there!"
-Peggy and Bob Rutner
Resident and former applicant

"Los Altos Hills needs a new Council member who can find a balance between the rights of property owners and rural character of the town. Emily Cheng is the right person for this job."
-Luis Yanez
