Statement from the Voter Information Pamphlet

By Veronica Jacobi

I will work with community groups, older persons, people with disabilities, and those with limited incomes to address needs, including reducing traffic and parking problems.

I intend to use my mechanical engineering (UCLA'79) experience at the Environmental Protection Agency and as an energy management consultant to focus on effectiveness and efficiency.

I will promote local businesses and the downtown area. I will work to protect groundwater levels, water/air quality, agriculture, and greenbelts.

My volunteer service includes: Sonoma County Conservation Council, and Sierra Club Executive Boards, Co- Founder Sonoma County Water Coalition, League of Women Voters, Task Force on the Homeless, labor and other activism. My husband and I coach Special Olympics.

I'm a first generation American raised bilingual, and understand difficulties immigrants face. I have two daughters in college and parented six foster children.

Elect a practical problem solver, not a career politician. By being creative and efficient, promoting renewable resources, and minimizing waste, we can improve our communities. Please help me create positive change for Santa Rosa.

I would appreciate your vote. Thank you.
