Kristen Barneich is best for A.G. Council

I first met Kristen Barneich when she started serving on the Arroyo Grande City Council. She listens to all points of view and is thoughtful and considerate before making her decision. She has been professional and courteous despite several personal attacks from opposing individuals.

I have no personal projects in Arroyo Grande but have watched with interest as contentious projects have been brought forth. She treats all the parties fairly and understands how the interests of the city and the residents must work together for the benefit of all.

This is a delicate balance, and I believe she understands that better than most. It is because of these traits that I support Kristen for City Council. I hope you value these as well and will elect Kristen.

Steve Hollister, Arroyo Grande
