Scott Clegg:
"I speak only for myself, but I think there is a good reason for endorsements from groups like the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. Steve knows and understands what Marina needs to get back on its feet....real economic growth. The current mayor feels that keeping existing businesses running through sign and banner promotions is going to build Marina back to economic strength. While I agree that existing businesses are important, Marina needs so much more than that in the way of economic development. Steve Emerson gets that and that's why he should get your vote. He's got mine!"

J. Alan Fagan:
"Here in the great City of Marina we have a choice to make, between two very different philosophies, with equally different and significant outcomes for our community. The consequences couldn't be greater, nor the stakes higher. Do you want a Mayor who pays your rent, or a Mayor who provides you a Job, Safe Schools and Safe Streets for your Children, and Affordable Housing for your Family? Do you want a Mayor who is infamous for wailing in the streets and on TV, or a Mayor whose understated confidence and levelheaded-ness ensures fair and balanced outcomes representing our entire community? In short, do you want caricature or Character? I for one, choose the latter, and I hope you will join me in supporting Emerson For Marina Mayor 2012 with your vote on November 6th. Vote early and vote your entire ballot. Vote Steve Emerson for our next Mayor, and send Jim Ford and Darlena Ridler to the City Council to help Steve rebuild a better, prosperous, and more inclusive Marina. Together we can be the community we desire. Together we can build a better future for the entirety of the Monterey Peninsula. Thank you for participating, thank you for standing up together!"

Jack Stewart:
"Steve Emerson has demonstrated a strong concern for veterans. Steve believes that Marina's veterans community must be provided a Veterans Cemetery at the former Fort Ord as a number one priority. Further, that City government needs to actively promote and pursue hiring our nation's disabled veterans. Anyone can say I support veterans, Steve will ensure support becomes reality."
