Candidate Endorsements for City of Pleasanton Mayoral, City Council, and PUSD Board of Trustees Seats

Regardless of our endorsement decisions, we applaud all who raise their hand to serve their community. Public service is a critical part of our way of life. All community members have an opportunity to participate and make a difference, but only a few answer that call. Thank you, Candidates, for stepping forward!
