Editor,
I have lived in the Baywood/Parrott Park neighborhoods with my family for over 25 years. This year, I am enthusiastically supporting Amourence Lee for San Mateo City Council.
I got to know Amo when she was on the General Plan Update Subcommittee. She impressed me then with her passion for San Mateo and her detailed preparation for each meeting. I strongly supported her appointment to the City Council last year and have not been disappointed.
Councilwoman Lee has shown that she cares for all San Mateans. She has advocated for LBGTQ Pride and supported the Black Lives Matter protests. Amo is passionate about fairness and equity, and lets it show.
Amo’s campaign has demonstrated clear support from within the community. Councilwoman Lee has worked well with the local businesses and several local business groups have endorsed her. As the only candidate endorsed by the Sierra Club, Amo’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis is clear.
I agree with the Daily Journal endorsement editorial that it is important that Councilwoman Lee lives and is incredibly involved in the North Central neighborhood, which has been historically underrepresented in local government. My neighborhood, on the other hand, would be vastly overrepresented if both of the other two candidates win. That is not smart nor equitable for a city the size of San Mateo. Please join me in voting for Councilwoman Lee.

Last time I checked Nancy we don't live in a city that has district elections. What does where a person lives have any significance in an at-large election. The council "felt" there way through the appointment process and determined Ms. Lee worthy of the seat. This is not how city council's govern. If you want to end BLM, social justice/racial equity rhetoric and a city council member who only listens to her "community" in North Central, get Amourence Lee out of city hall. We don't have the resources to listen to a woman who only wants to divide us between each other. You see what BLM and these racial equity protestors are doing to cities throughout our country. Don't let it happen to San Mateo, please show Ms. Lee the exit door at city hall. Also, vote yes on Y and No on R.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with Councilwoman Lee. We're very fortunate to have a great local newspaper where folks can do this! I'm looking forward to reading the results of the local races in the Journal!!
