  • Gilroy Chamber of Commerce
  • County Supervisor (and former Gilroy Mayor) Don Gage
  • Honorary Mayor Emeritus Mike Gilroy

I have also received the endorsement of our local newspaper, the Gilroy Dispatch. In their recommendation, they said:

"Intelligent, articulate, engaging and good humored. That's a fair summation for Bob Dillon, and it served him well during his previous term on City Council. He lost his seat, perhaps, in a pennywise but pound-foolish move to save the city money by declining to file a ballot statement. But he's back, and focused on an issue he didn't get his arms around the first time: fixing the sidewalks. Dillon believes the city should pay the entire freight and fix all the street-tree damaged sidewalks, then tell homeowners they are responsible from that point forward...."

And:

"Dillon is a proven commodity. He knows the job and he knows how to communicate with people on a one-to-one basis. He does his homework, he listens and he's as plain spoken as they come - just what Gilroy needs."
