Carolyn Clarke joins Menlo Park City Council race
Menlo Park, posted by Editor, The Almanac Online, on Jul 17, 2012 at 12:30 pm

Hmmm. A one-issue candidate.

I know Carolyn personally and she will be a great city council woman. It has been a while since we have strong advocates for Belle Haven. She has the passion and the energy to render valuable service to Belle Haven and the City in Large.

@ Jane P. The article identify her three issues as traffic, Jobs, and housing. Have you read it?

What is her position on public unions?


Posted by Carolyn Clarke, a resident of the Menlo Park: Belle Haven neighborhood, on Jul 20, 2012 at 11:12 am

Thanks to all, for your interest in my campaign and your suggestions as well as your support.

@ Joanna;

As an accountant, I will work to achieve long term fiscal health for the city. And I look forward to a cordial working relationship with the employees and staff in the city, as well as their union representatives. But I will always remember that my allegiance is to the citizens of Menlo Park, current and future.

Respectfully,

Carolyn Clarke
