Smart Voter Official Statement for Peter Arellano, MD

Candidate for
Mayor; City of Gilroy

This is a copy of information submitted to elections officials by the candidate

Occupation: Medical Doctor
Age: 62
Education and Qualifications:
I was born and raised in Gilroy. My parents were small business owners who where committed to family, education and enterprise. After completing Gilroy High School and Gavilan College I graduated from Stanford University Medical School.

As a physician, I pledged "that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those of sound mind and body as well as the infirm," I live those words through my public service; as a City Councilman, volunteer physician for events and community organizer.

I became a City Councilmember to help shape and prepare Gilroy for the future while sustaining our area's unique character. I will continue this goal by working on environmentally sustainable development, economic support of small businesses, developing a thriving downtown and securing a future for our children by improving public schools, the backbone of any community.

As Mayor, I bring 11 years of legislative experience, a passion for open and transparent government, fiscal responsibility, a devotion to preserving the health and improving the lives of all Gilroy residents. I am uniquely qualified to understand the impact of policy decisions on our community. I respectfully request your vote.
