Dear Editor,
Congratulations to my running mates for Cotati City Council! In the end it wasn't very close (I am the 2.4 percent!), but I had a great time, and I thank those who voted - for any and all of us.
I thoroughly enjoyed walking the neighborhoods and talking with people - people who have serious concerns about the state of business in Cotati, and the
Measure U passed easily, so I hope our elected officials as well as paid staff will take that to heart and work towards a goal for Cotati that brings the community together.
I appreciate the opportunity and want to thank Tami and all at City Hall who helped me in a very last minute bid and education of city policies. I'll continue to make my Cotati City T-Shirts, work to preserve and share the history of Old Redwood Highway, and if necessary, fight to keep our Sonoma Coast beaches free.
Sincerely,
Alden Olmsted
Cotati
