"In deciding whether or not to endorse Karen Holman, I considered many factors: intelligence, common sense, connection and commitment to community, respect for our neighborhood associations and for city staff, experience in public service, humility, decisiveness, courage, and independence. On each of these 10 factors, I give to Karen an A+, and thus, my unqualifed endorsement.
There are some major issues coming before the council next year, among them a rethinking of our approach to housing development.
We need competent leadership and courageous voices. Karen will provide both." -- LaDoris Cordell, Palo Alto City Council
