Joe Galligan Age: 42 Occupation: Business Owner Education and Qualifications: Burlingame is a wonderful community. I will work with you to make Burlingame an even better place while maintaining our traditions. I am a Burlingame native, attended local schools, played in city youth and adult recreation programs, was President of Burlingame Rotary, and have worked for various charitable organizations which benefited Burlingame residents. I bring a unique blend of community involvement and successful business experience to the Council that includes: * starting my own accounting firm, Galligan & Co., CPAs, 17 years ago and assisting many local individuals and businesses. * a founding director of a local bank that has grown from $3 million to $300 million in assets. The bank is one of the highest rated banks in California for safety and security. Burlingame no longer has an elected City Treasurer. My accounting experience will provide valuable assistance as the Council balances our annual $35 million budget. As a participant in "Burlingame Together," a volunteer in school programs and a volunteer in youth sports, I believe I understand the needs of our Burlingame Community. I will fight for more recreational space and opportunities for our youth and seniors while protecting our tax base and at the same time maintaining our unique charm and character. I would be honored to have your vote. /s/ Joseph Galligan
