Carnacchi's Candidate's Qualification Statement:
Here is my Candidate's Qualification Statement as it was filed and will appear in the Sebastopol voter's ballot pamphlet. I am prepared to openly discuss and respectfully answer any questions that West County residents have about any of the points on which I rest my candidacy.
______________________________
Michael Anthony Carnacchi - Age: 54
Small Business Owner, Director-Sebastopol Downtown Association
For 23 consecutive years now, I have been honored to serve the citizens of Sebastopol as a small business owner with a cobbler and boot-making workshop on Main Street. I am also a director of the Sebastopol Downtown Association, where I have been an active member since 1994.
I am running for Sebastopol City Council in order to be a catalyst in the creation of innovative ways to increase City revenue, improve downtown quality of life, attract locally owned businesses that provide essential necessities, and mitigate traffic and parking concerns.
I regularly attend City Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings, and General Plan meetings and I understand the challenges and opportunities facing Sebastopol. I seek to employ this knowledge to develop policies that benefit our environment, strengthen our sense of community, maintain a school district attractive to young families, and ensure that our children can afford to live here.
I am recognized as a citizens’ advocate who stands up for economic and social justice and if elected, I will carefully listen to diverse viewpoints with an open mind, with integrity, and with the greater good of our community always in my heart.
Thank you for considering my candidacy; I respectfully petition for your vote.

Yes, I agree with you in welcoming the other candidates to post as you suggested but under individual threads please.
For this thread, I will openly discuss and respectfully answer any questions that West County residents and the other candidates have about my Candidate's Qualification Statement, and I am grateful for any opportunity to engage.
