Editorial…
"We have based our recommendations on candidates' records and public campaigns.
In Seat 3 we recommend incumbent John Howe…
Howe knows city government inside
and out and seems to have the respect of city employees. He has worked hard to
increase public participation in government, even walking precincts in non-election years…
We recommend him."

LEADERSHIP BRINGS RESULTS
MANY THANKS TO ALL
FOR YOUR SUPPORT - John Howe
Dear Neighbor:
As Mayor and City Councilmember, I have rolled up
my sleeves
and worked hard to protect and build Sunnyvale and make it one of
the safest and most desirable places to live anywhere in the world.
I've responded to drug and gang activity in
Sunnyvale by
re-establishing the narcotics and organized crime unit. As a result,
our city is a safer place for all of us.
In a tempestuous political climate, I helped
to hire a qualified City
Manager who had an extensive budget and operations background to
turn around the city's finances.
To insure that the residents' needs and desires
are addressed, I have
contributed to the communication infrastructure of the city in many ways.
For example, I have promoted and attended many neighborhood
meetings, so that I am well informed about the needs of our community.
I have also established an Auto Dealer Roundtable and established a
Hospitality Business Roundtable.
I appreciate your consideration of my candidacy.
Please don't hesitate to
call me if you have any questions or suggestions. I look forward to working
with you to make Sunnyvale an even better place to live.
Best,
John Howe
