Hmm? So isn't it a sad commentary, in USA politics monies raised, not issues addressed or solutions offered or a concern for the public good, even in local races are the main concerns of media and voters? Shame on us.

One candidate represents a more progressive position, and is young and inexperienced (Berman).

Another candidate represents a more pragmatic position, and is older with much experience (Kasperzak).

I'll take experience, thankyouverymuch.

Mike Kasperzak has been taking developers' money for years. His vision for Mountain View is the same as theirs. He has consistently advocated for developers' interests over residents' interests. I don't know enough about the other candidates yet, but I'd never vote for him.

What a surprise...someone on TownSquare won't vote for Kasperzak. Zzzzzzzzz.


The money is with another candidate. Read the article. Besides..the job of Assemblyman is much different than council member. Developers don't hold the same sway.

Half of Kaperzak's campaign money has come from himself. Kasperzak is Kasperzak's chief supporter. It must be great to be that popular - with yourself. I bet Kasperzak even votes for himself.

Will there be a public forum where each candidate can debate their platform and ideas?
