Endorsements Organizations
Democratic Party Update: "On the dais, I find Cheryl to be the more thoughtful in her approach to the issues. Cheryl listens carefully to the public, asks clear and concise questions of staff, entertains meaningful discussion with her fellow council members, and renders her decision only after going through a full analysis of the issue." -Mayor of Pleasanton Jennifer Hosterman "I've seen Cheryl's outstanding work on the city council and as a government teacher. She has provided great opportunities for young people to engage early in government and public policy. Cheryl has proven to have the vision, leadership skills, and ability to bring diverse groups of people together in teams to work for the common good and improve our community. These are among the reasons I encourage you to vote for Cheryl Cook-Kallio for Mayor." -State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson "I've had the opportunity to work with Cheryl on issues affecting our region. She's a proven leader and has worked hard to form partnerships with neighboring communities. She understands the essential role that regional collaboration plays in preserving our quality neighborhoods and in promoting a thriving local economy. Her work and ability to see the big picture not only benefits Pleasanton but the greater Tri-Valley area." -Senator Mark DeSaulnier "I have known Cheryl for many years. She understands the complexities of managing a city budget and the issues surrounding pension reform. She is smart, listens, works well with people and businesses, and is a proven problem solver." -Assemblymember Joan Buchanan "Cheryl Cook-Kallio has shown courage and leadership since the day she was elected to the Pleasanton City Council. As Mayor she will continue that tradition. Cheryl was the driving force behind the approval of the connection of Stoneridge Drive and is the only Mayoral candidate in Pleasanton who voted to support placing the County Board of Supervisors' Transportation Expenditure Plan on the ballot. Cheryl understands that plan provides the critical funding needed to complete State Route 84 and ease our traffic problems, right here in Pleasanton." - Supervisor Scott Haggerty "Cheryl has a dynamic vision to help Pleasanton become an engine for innovation and economic growth. She understands we need incentives to promote business, how to streamline regulation, and how to improve Pleasanton's infrastructure. Under her leadership, Pleasanton can become a model for California in attracting business and creating jobs." -Ro Khanna, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary US Department of Commerce "As a City Councilmember, Cheryl has fought for public park access to Pleasanton's southeast hills, drafted plans to eliminate traffic congestion, and developed sensible measures to assure our city's long-term fiscal stability and economic prosperity. About to retire after many years as an award-winning high school teacher, Cheryl appreciates the priority our community places on quality schools, and she understands the value of city-school district cooperation to support education excellence for Pleasanton's children and families. "Cheryl welcomes input from all Pleasanton residents with varying viewpoints, and always responds to calls and emails. When it comes to controversy, she strives to build community consensus rather than taking sides. She has the experience, temperament, and passion to lead our very active, civic-minded community. Vote Cheryl Cook-Kallio for Mayor of Pleasanton. "
-Becky Dennis "Cheryl Cook-Kallio is a force of nature. Fortunately for Pleasanton, Cheryl's dynamism is guided by an internal compass that reflects the best of human values. We heartily endorse her candidacy for Mayor of Pleasanton - an endorsement based on decades of knowing Cheryl in a wide range of roles." -Bill & Becky Radulovich "I'm supporting Cheryl Cook-Kallio for Mayor. Cheryl is an outstanding communicator, accomplished at careful listening as well as effectively, honestly and clearly providing answers to questions. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding government processes, is a team player, understands the need to work with others in the region to accomplish common goals, and represents all interests in Pleasanton. Cheryl will be a fine Mayor bringing together the diverse opinions of her fellow Councilmembers to accomplish goals assuring Pleasanton maintains its excellent quality of life." -Dolores Bengston Elected, Formerly Elected, or Appointed Officials
