Official Ballot Statement

Jane Williams	Age: 51
Occupation: Change Management and Performance Support Analyst

Education and Qualifications:

MA, Ph.D. -- I served on the Human Resources Commission for 8 years, two years
as Chair, and chaired the Citizens Review Committee that mediated residents and
service provider problems in San Mateo. I owned a small business here and have
13 years management experience in business and social services. I have
extensive background in project development and evaluation, managing complex
budgets and resources. I'm an active board member for my Home Association and
welcome opportunities to use my skills in service to San Mateo. As a member of
the City Council, I will help to shape San Mateo's future by making strategic
choices today. I'll promote neighborhood empowerment, citizen access, and
participation in city government. I'll push for balance in the needs of
businesses and residents, homeowners and renters. I'll work for sustainability,
promoting those elements that sustain our economic growth without jeopardizing
our future. Today's high density housing should not become tomorrow's traffic
nightmare.

We will get the type of city we are willing to build. The choices we make today
affect the life we will live tomorrow. I'm passionate about working with you,
the citizens, to build the type of city we want and deserve.
