OPINIONS: Support for Council Candidates McCarthy and Cavenaugh
I’m writing to you today in strong support of Conna McCarthy’s candidacy to serve on the Piedmont City Council.
To me, Conna McCarthy brings the best of public service to Piedmont’s civic life. She is smart, has a long history of volunteerism for the Piedmont schools and as a Recreation Commissioner.
In addition to her extraordinary work here in town, Conna’s commitment to progressive values stretches beyond Piedmont and has left an impact throughout the state of California. She’s led
voter registration efforts with Martin Luther King III, she’s advocated for women and people of color, she knows how to build coalitions and she gets the job done.
Conna is a consummate professional who knows how to listen to the needs of our beautiful community.
Please join me in supporting Conna McCarthy for Piedmont City Council.
Teddy Gray King
Vice Mayor, City of Piedmont

I am writing in full support of Jen Cavenaugh’s campaign for re-election to the Piedmont City Council. We met in 2011 when I was new to the city and our children attended Beach Elementary together.
Over the past three years, I have gotten to know Jen better, both professionally and personally, through PADC (Piedmont Anti-Racism and Diversity Committee). She is a strong advocate for inclusivity and truly listens to the perspectives of all stakeholders. Her ability to build rapport, make strong connections, skillfully collaborate, and take action make her an ideal thought partner between the city and community members.
Her experience and background in management and business has proven to be an asset to the city and her deep understanding of fiduciary and fiscal responsibilities benefit both the city and the residents of Piedmont. Her track record as an active volunteer and as a current City Council member speaks to her level of dedication and commitment to public service. She will continue to serve the city well as a leader with integrity.
I urge you to vote for Jen for re-election to the Piedmont City Council.
