Political Philosophy for Gillian Moran

Candidate for
Council Member; City of Saratoga

I am running for re-election to the Saratoga City Council because I value our community - our beautiful setting and traditional neighborhoods, our strong public safety record, and our quiet lifestyle.

I have had 4 years experience on the City Council and 5 on the Planning Commission, where I

· provided responsible and respectful leadership,

· acted to preserve and protect the quality of Saratoga's neighborhoods, and

· worked to build a strong sense of community.
