The Tribune staff has made their recommendations for the San Luis Obispo City Council election.

Do not be discouraged if you are a candidate who did not receive The Tribune’s nod of approval. I was never endorsed by them, either. But the voters put me in office, twice.

I will be voting for those who I believe are most in line with my visions for SLO. I care about the quality of life for residents and preserving the small town we chose to live in. I am concerned about the rapid rate of growth and expansion in the face of scarce water resources. I support the maintenance of open space and protection of those natural habitats from overuse.

I will vote for Mila Vujovich-La Barre and Michael Clark, and I hope you will, too.

Christine Mulholland, San Luis Obispo
