City of San Ramon
Statement of Qualifications
David Hudson
Candidate for City Council
San Ramon is one of the most beautiful and best managed cities in California
San Ramon is the safest city in California with a population over 30,000 and has the lowest violent crime rate in the 580/680 corridor. Through hard work, dedication, and prudent fiscal management, we’ve earned “AAA” bond/credit rating with $29 million in reserves. We have received “Excellence in Reporting” for financial audit transparency nine years in a row. San Ramon is also recognized as one of the Top 100 Best Communities for Young People in America.
During my 20 years of leadership, I’ve served as San Ramon’s Mayor, City Councilman and Planning Commissioner, while serving on dozens of other boards, commissions, and committees. Through work on “County Connection” and TRAFFIX, we’ve reduced traffic congestion. A decade of East Bay Regional Park District Advisory Committee helped me promote bike sharing on the Iron Horse Trail and expand regional parks. I serve on the National and California League Cities for transportation and community development. This experience helps me fight the State’s raid of your transportation dollars and improve property values while maintaining local control for our residents. It strengthened my part to open the Caldecott tunnel’s fourth bore.
Our future will be stronger when we: build the City Center with a public/private partnership (no new taxes); open the new school promised in the last bond measure to relieve overcrowding; continue to manage employee pension issues to protect taxpayers from unfunded liabilities; and improve property values by attracting high quality jobs.
My wife Barbara and I raised our children in San Ramon. We love our community and would be honored to have your support in this election. If you have any questions, please, call me at my home - 828-5578.
