“PleasantonVoters.com endorses Julie Testa for Pleasanton City Council on November 6”
“Julie Testa is our first candidate endorsement for Pleasanton’s City Council. She has consistently supported PleasantonVoters.com’s goals of protecting our Urban Growth Boundary, preserving ridges and open space and balancing infrastructure needs with growth in our neighborhoods. Julie continues to support slow and smart growth in Pleasanton, and supports PleasantonVoters’ goals of minimizing the impacts of new growth on existing Pleasanton residents. At our Forum she stressed that the City does not know the volume of land that will be required for high density housing, a requirement to meet State mandates for 2022-23 in Pleasanton (also called RHNA). Julie is asking the City to wait until we know our housing mandate numbers, before zoning the East Pleasanton area. She knows, excessive development will negatively affect current residents with bottleneck and cut-through traffic, limited clean water, crowded schools and safety concerns.”
“Julie has attended and spoken at hundreds of City, School Board and community meetings on a regular basis to keep up-to-date on the issues that affect our community. Julie has worked for over 30 years on various task forces in Pleasanton, including the Human Services Commission in order to improve the lives of our seniors, the mentally ill and disabled individuals. Julie has demonstrated the passion, intelligence and proven leadership to tackle hard issues facing our community and region.”
