"Kasperzak, the only incumbent, has taken a
leadership role in addressing the housing shortage. A
professional mediator, he has proven to be a
consensus builder who brings much needed
experience and continuity to the council... On Nov. 5,
Mountain View residents would do well to vote for
Kasperzak... " San Jose Mercury News, October 22,
2002

"The only incumbent in the race, Kasperzak has proven
to be thoughtful and receptive to constituents' ideas. He
is willing to change his stance on issues in response
to public opinion, and is not afraid to take risks in
thinking up creative solutions to problems facing the
council. "
Mountain View Voice, October 24, 2002

"Kasperzak, in his four years on Council, has done an
excellent job balancing the needs of residents with
those of the business community, bringing to bear his
skills as a mediator...We feel Mike Kasperzak...will put
the city on the right track." Palo Alto Daily News,
October 31, 2002

"Kasperzak was chosen for demonstrating he can
'balance the financial realities of the City and still work
to support affordable, higher density, transit oriented in
fill housing and alternative transportation."
