I've known Lucas for many, many years and I admire his thoughtful approach to the challenging issues that Mountain View's City Council must deal with. He will certainly get my vote in November. I believe anyone who takes the time to get to know him and what he stands for will make the same choice.

I agree with Bruce. Lucas is a thoughtful and intelligent person who has his heart in the right place.

I was disappointed in several of his votes. I think he is spending too much time focused on the needs of the few and not focused on homeowners. For example, he voted for a guaranteed basic income for a very small group. That is not the business of a city, it’s a state function.

@ Salsamusic, so what you're saying is you're mad that he prioritized the needs of a few under resourced people in a sea of privileged financially successful people.

Got it.

By the way what ever happened regarding the California apartment Associations use of the Mountain View Fire Fighters PAC contributing to the campaigns of the City Council? The Voice reported it:

"FPPC launches investigation into Mountain View's firefighter PAC
Landlord lobby funnels money into Mountain View City Council race directly and through firefighters
by Kevin Forestieri / Mountain View Voice

"The latest campaign filings also reveal that the firefighters PAC has taken money from the California Apartment Association (CAA), a landlord lobbying group, though the exact nature of the contribution is unclear. The assistance from CAA is unusual for the local PAC, which has historically been funded through Mountain View firefighters and supported candidates for state office. It's also the latest in a string of aggressive independent expenditures in Mountain View this election season, with the bulk of outside money being spent on misleading attack ads against candidate and former Assemblywoman Sally Lieber.

The Firefighter were warned in the past if you look up the letter written by the FPPC written here in the past it can be seen by googling "Re: Warning Letter Re: FPPC No. 10/519; Mountain View Professional Firefighters"

This letter serves as a written warning. The information in this matter will be retained and may be considered should an enforcement action become necessary based on newly discovered information or future conduct. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Act in the future will result in monetary penalties of up to $5,000 for each violation.

The firefighters better be careful!!!
