As an active member of our community for nearly 20 years, I have worked to keep Sunnyvale a world-class city in which to live and work. Over the past four years my accomplishments include:

  • Providing for the safety of our community and making Sunnyvale one of the five safest cities in the nation,
  • Serving our seniors and youth by constructing a new senior center and skateboard park,
  • Managing our finances responsibly by approving and implementing a budget balanced for the next 20 years,
  • Improving our environment by working to increase air quality, reduce traffic congestion, and ensure a reliable and safe water supply,
  • Promoting economic development by bringing new jobs and businesses to our city

As a member of your City Council I will:
  • Protect our residential neighborhoods
  • Improve our quality of life by supporting a strong Public Safety Department, high quality libraries, and services for our seniors and youth.
  • Improve our downtown by supporting our City's Downtown Design Plan that seeks to provide quality housing, commercial, and office space without comprising the quality of life in surrounding neighborhoods
  • Work with NASA, other local governments, and community leaders to ensure NASA's continued Federal stewardship of Moffett Field to minimize flights over our neighborhoods.
  • Encourage a healthy economy by supporting high-technology, retail, and commercial businesses.
  • Preserve our heritage by retaining historic areas in our city, such as the downtown.
  • Provide quality housing for our community including afordable housing for our children and maintaining zoning for mobile home parks as a source of affordable housing.

As an experienced leader, I have proven my ability to listen and act on the needs of the community. As a continuing Councilmember, I will endeavor to keep Sunnyvale a prosperous and livable community. I ask you to join me in making Sunnyvale an even greater place to live, work, and raise our families by reelecting Tim Risch for Sunnyvale City Council Seat 7.
