              Statement of JOHN WILLIAM STATTON, Candidate for
                            City Council Member
   Occupation: Chamber Executive Director
   Education and Qualifications:
   We all call Cupertino home. I believe Cupertino is strongest when we
   work together for our common future. I need your support to keep our
   city a great place to live and raise families.
     * City Budget Expertise - Cupertino is a $22 million business that
       requires professional management. From my experience at Apple and
       as Executive Director of the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce, I have
       developed the necessary financial management skills for efficient
       oversight.
     * Library & Senior Center Expansion - Our city is accumulating a $31
       million surplus. I believe now is the time to expand and improve
       the senior center and library. Set a prudent reserve level and
       actively manage our resources, or give it back to the taxpayers.
     * Education & Community Development - City partnerships with
       neighborhood schools are providing a foundation for local
       educational excellence. Encouraging volunteerism, 4th of July
       fireworks and neighborhood emergency preparedness are also
       important civic values and city activities.
     * Open Space, Slow Growth - I was on the team that saved Blackberry
       Farm as open space for our community. We need to carefully control
       growth so we can continue to have a high quality place to call
       home.
