LONNIE GAITHER DISTRICT 2

INCUMBENT

My name is Abraham Saenz. I am a native of Pleasanton, Texas. I have lived here all my life.

I am married to Linda Saenz, my wife for 50 years, and we have four children: Richard, Ronnie, Veronica and Angie.

First of all, I am seeking re-election for District 2. I have represented this district for 28 years. I want to say I have come a long way in accomplishing a lot of things that the citizens did not have 28 years ago.

KATHY CORONADO I have finished paving all streets and curbing, and have solved a lot of drainage problems.

My district is in good condition, but getting reelected will accomplish more improvements within the city, bring more business into the city that means monies and save taxpayers money by not raising taxes.

We have good water. We have a new city hall, new city manager, which I think him and I can do a lot of things in the future, with the rest of the city council.

So I am asking for your support by re-electing me on May 12 City Election. Don’t forget to vote. It is very important. Remember, you all’s representation means a lot to me, and me to you all. You need a representative like me at all times.

My name is Lonnie Gaither, and I am running for Pleasanton City Council, District 2.

I was raised in Pleasanton and have lived here for all but about five years of my life, right here on the same property in District 2. I have also worked for the Pleasanton ISD as a computer technician since March 1999.

I am sure that all of you have already noticed that Pleasanton is in the middle of big changes. You can see it in the increased traffic in town, the many new businesses that have either moved here or have opened local branches, the longer lines in restaurants, and that most of the long-vacant buildings in town are now being occupied. All of this points to big growth, with no signs of slowing down.

With all of this in view, I feel there are a number of issues that the city will need to focus on in order for this massive growth to be well managed.

In no particular order of importance:

*We need to focus on traffic and safety, particularly on Hwy 281 and Hwy 97

*Improved animal control within the city

*I want to do what I can to proceed with improving response times for fire and EMS services within the city

*The city is in need of a continuing, focused plan for our growth

DISTRICT 3

I am excited about the opportunity to continue serving the people of Pleasanton, now as Councilmember in District 3. After 28 years of service as City Secretary and then City Manager, there are still many areas of our City in need of continued improvement to help handle the current growth we are seeing. My experience gives me a thorough knowledge of the City’s operations and I know that we can accomplish much by working together within the Council and with Mr. Pearson, our new City Manager. The other group to be involved in this process, and the most important, is you, the public. Your input and participation in everything from voting in each election, letting your representative know how you see things, attending meetings when possible, and helping serve in an area in which you are interested, will all help our City grow to its potential. I look forward to doing all I can to help Pleasanton provide needed services and improve the quality of life in our City. Respectfully, Kathy Coronado
