Susan was elected to the Concord City Council in 2002, and is now serving as Mayor. Under
Susan's leadership, the City of Concord continues to balance its budget, plan ahead
financially for 10 years, and fund a 15% reserve account for emergencies. When the state of
California drastically cut funds to local governments, Concord was one of the few cities in
Contra Costa prepared to meet this fiscal challenge while remaining financially strong. This
is the type of decision making and leadership Susan will bring to the County Board of Supervisors. |
