WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

By Leslie Devaney

Quotes from supporters:

"While both candidates for City Attorney claim to support a less political, more professional City Attorney's office, Leslie Devaney is the only candidate who practices what she preaches," Zucchet said. "Her opponent has said that he wants to change the role and authority of the City Attorney to an office of political activism--not `merely' serving as the legal representative for the City of San Diego. I think this takes the City Attorney's office in the wrong direction."

Assemblymember Juan Vargas:

"Leslie has worked tirelessly for the betterment of our neighborhoods," said Vargas. "She has the experience and leadership skills to manage our City Attorney's office and make it the best in the state."

Edward Lopez, San Diego City Schools Board of Education:

"We can count on Leslie to meet the needs of historically under-served communities."

Keith Enerson, former Assistant Chief, San Diego Police Department:

"When our city faces a crisis, we will need a steady hand like Leslie Devaney's in the City Attorney's Office."

Marla Marshall, Special Assistant to Sheriff Bill Kolender:

"Leslie Devaney is the epitome of integrity and would be an outstanding City Attorney."

Alan Crogan, Chief Probation Officer, Retired:

"Leslie knows that keeping young people out of trouble depends on collaboration between police, probation and the City Attorney's Office."

Scott Barnett:

"City taxpayers need an advocate in the City Attorney's Office, and with Leslie, they will have one."

Greg Smith:

"Leslie is a strong advocate for more openness and accountability at City Hall"

Cecil Steppe:

"Leslie's efforts, as the Executive Assistant City Attorney, to reduce alcohol and drug abuse, curbing gang violence and working to stop domestic violence are making a difference in hundreds of young lives in our community who live with and witness violence daily. We owe them our best efforts to stop the violence."
