I've lived in Sebastopol for over 25 years. I've watched what has been happening recently to my city and am not happy with what has been done and what wasn't done. Time for a change and time to elect someone who cares for all of Sebastopol's citizens, not just a select few. I'm voting for Jill because her knowledge and experience will bring a fresh perspective to the Council and she will do what is right for Sebastopol. Zoe — Zoe Rivers
