Endorsements from the Ojai Community and Beyond

"Ms. Francina provides the council a different perspective. She represents much of what defines Ojai. There's the yoga, the bicycling, the championing of the environment and infectious enthusiasm for all things Ojai. Add to that her previous experience on the council. At her interview with the Editorial Board, Ms. Francina, an Ojai resident for 51 years, laid out many dog-eared copies of books on sustainable city planning, including the city's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, which she supported when she was on the council. She said she envisions Ojai as a small town that is "better, not bigger."
--Ventura County Star Endorsement, October 20, 2008

"With all of us facing an economic time of troubles that may be hard to bear, we need local leaders who can encourage the best in us, leaders like Suza Francina."
--Clive Leeman

" We need Suza Francina on the City Council again. She is a peaceful, sensitive person with that special intelligence that we all notice immediately." -- Elaine Needham

"My family came to Ojai in 1969. I am always hoping that a candidate will come along who embodies an earth-friendly worldview. Suza is such a candidate. Think what the planet might be like today if we, as a society, had supported more of those ideas in the 1970's, when we first promoted them. Let's get Suza elected and see if we can finally bring some of these sensible ideas to fruition." -- Lanny Kaufer

"A little before her time, Suza's agenda from the 90's represents the very issues now being urgently considered world wide. With Suza back in office, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will come off the shelf and be put back on the table for action. Green building standards, responsible development and environmental issues will move forward with her strong and persistent voice on the council. Suza will also be an outspoken advocate for the Stop the Trucks Coalition.

As a small business owner, Suza understands the problems faced by our business community and will work on behalf of those interests. I welcome the opportunity to support Suza Francina's candidacy. A vote for Suza is a vote for Ojai."
-- Dale Hanson, Ojai Citizen of the Year

Suza is endorsed by many individuals, groups and organizations, including the National Women's Political Caucus of Ventura County and the Ojai Peace Coalition. To view more endorsements and learn about Suza's vision for Ojai, please visit http://www.SuzaForOjai.com
