帕洛阿尔托市议员帕特·伯特(Pat Burt)宣布将寻求第四个任期,他希望完成9个正在建设或筹备中的经济适用房项目,并执行一项旨在淘汰帕洛阿尔托天然气设备的气候计划。

👨‍💼 帕特·伯特(Pat Burt)是帕洛阿尔托市议员,现年72岁,他在2008年首次当选,曾担任三届市长。他正在寻求第四个任期,希望完成9个正在建设或筹备中的经济适用房项目,并执行一项旨在淘汰帕洛阿尔托天然气设备的气候计划。

🏘️ 伯特强调,在未来几个月和几年中做出的预算和政策决定将影响该市未来几十年的发展。他指出,在2020年,他曾竞选连任,目的是恢复疫情期间对警察部门和消防员的削减,并确保选举产生的官员,而不是城市雇员,在关键决策中发挥领导作用。

🗳️ 今年11月,帕洛阿尔托市议会将有四个席位进行选举。除了伯特,其他候选人还包括规划委员会委员乔治·卢(George Lu)和人权委员会委员凯蒂·考西(Katie Causey),以及规划委员会委员基思·雷克达尔(Keith Reckdahl)。伯特获得了雷克达尔和副市长埃德·劳因(Ed Lauing)的认可。

🤝 除了上述候选人外,现任市长格里尔·斯通(Greer Stone)也计划很快宣布是否竞选连任。现任市议员莉迪亚·库(Lydia Kou)和格雷格·田中(Greg Tanaka)由于任期限制,无法参加此次选举。

🏆 伯特获得了30多位前政府官员的认可,其中包括来自门洛帕克的州参议员乔希·贝克尔(Josh Becker)和前圣何塞市长萨姆·利卡多(Sam Liccardo),以及6位前帕洛阿尔托市长:拉里·克莱因(Larry Klein)、埃里克·菲尔塞斯(Eric Filseth)、拉尼·惠勒(Lanie Wheeler)、约里科·吉西莫托(Yoriko Kishimoto)、彼得·德雷克迈尔(Peter Drekmeier)和凯伦·霍尔曼(Karen Holman)。

By Braden CartwrightDaily Post Staff WriterPalo Alto’s longest tenured official is seeking his fourth term on council in November.

Councilman Pat Burt, 72, said he wants to see through nine affordable housing projects that are under construction or in the pipeline, and he wants to deliver on a climate plan that seeks to get rid of natural gas appliances in Palo Alto.

“Budget and policy decisions made in the coming months and years will affect our city’s future for decades to come,” Burt said in his announcement.

Burt, a three-time mayor, was first elected in 2008. He said he ran in 2020 to restore cuts to the police department and firefighters made during Covid, and to ensure that elected officials, not city employees, lead on key decisions.

Four seats in play

Burt’s seat on council is among four that will be decided by voters in the November election. Voters will get to pick their top four candidates.

On the pro-housing development side are Planning Commissioner George Lu, 31, and Human Relations Commissioner Katie Causey, 30.

Planning Commissioner Keith Reckdahl, 59, is backed by some of Palo Alto’s most prominent Residentialists, who are generally opposed to development and state housing mandates.

Burt is endorsed by Reckdahl and Vice Mayor Ed Lauing, who ran under the Residentialist label in 2020.

Councilwoman Lydia Kou, 57, and Councilman Greg Tanaka, 49, can’t run again in November due to term limits.

Mayor Greer Stone, 34, said that he is planning to make an announcement soon.

The winners will join Lauing, Councilwoman Vicki Veenker and Councilwoman Julie Lythcott-Haims, who endorsed Lu.

Burt is endorsed by 30 officials who have held public office before, including state Sen. Josh Becker, of Menlo Park, and former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, who is running to represent Palo Alto in Congress.

Burt is backed by six former Palo Alto mayors: Larry Klein, Eric Filseth, Lanie Wheeler, Yoriko Kishimoto, Peter Drekmeier and Karen Holman.

Palo Alto school board members Shana Segal and Todd Collins also endorsed Burt. So did Margaret Abe-Koga and Alison Hicks from Mountain View City Council, Los Altos Councilwoman Neysa Fligor and Menlo Park Councilman Drew Combs.
