Candidate for
Councilmember; City of San Luis Obispo

Vision and Commitment:

A city that works for all of us. That's my vision for San Luis Obispo. A city that works as a wonderful place to live, raise a family, establish a career, enjoy retirement.

Although San Luis Obispo works for many of us, it doesn't work for everyone.

It doesn't work for those born and raised here, with good jobs here, who can't afford a home here. It doesn't work for those who do own homes, yet live near noisy students or on a busy street with speeding traffic.

This is a great city, but we can make it better.

To do that takes balance on the part of City Council. It takes council members who'll consider all the needs of this community and listen to all sides.

I've demonstrated that balance over the past four years by attending council meetings, serving on a city advisory committee, and addressing city issues. I've done my homework. I've listened. I've helped improve the decision-making process.

A city that works for all of us. A councilman who'll work for you. Please vote Andrew Carter for San Luis Obispo City Council. Thank you.
