Dear Friend,

My wife and I have been your neighbors in this community for nearly 25 years. Our family is proud to call San Leandro home and it has been a privilege serving you on the City Council.

As your Councilmember, I advocated strongly for our schools, initiating the Safe Routes to Schools program; worked for affordable housing for seniors and working families; fought to preserve police and fire services; led the effort to save San Leandro Hospital; championed transit-oriented development; and created a more environmentally friendly San Leandro.

These are challenging times for cities, including ours, but we will weather the storm. We broke ground on a new Kaiser Hospital, recruited new businesses and jobs, mitigated traffic, and have been looking at new ideas for the Marina.

I am running for re-election to preserve the qualities that make San Leandro special. We need to make our downtown a destination, expand economic development, improve the partnership with our schools, commit to public safety, and continue to deliver quality City services.

I have a vision for a better San Leandro and want to continue to work with you to achieve it. It would be an honor to have your vote for re-election.

Michael Gregory
