Detailed Biography for Terri Cook

This information is provided by the candidate

I was born and raised in Belmont, and am now a homeowner. My family has lived here since 1931. I have been involved in Belmont for almost three decades. In the early 1970's I worked on the successful effort to preserve Twin Pines Park and the defeat of a plan to build a massive double-decker overpass at Ralston and El Camino. I knew these issues were important for future generations of Belmont.
