2012 ENDORSEMENTS

Danville and San Ramon Express said Experience Matters:

"Andersen's polished presentation, local government experience and positive attitude make her the right candidate for supervisor at this time... We believe Candace Andersen will do what's best for the entire San Ramon Valley, District 2 and the county."  Danville and San Ramon Express

Mayor Andersen was endorsed by outgoing Supervisor Gayle Uilkema: 

“Experience matters. District 2 is best served by someone who has City Council experience and has served on County boards and commissions... Candace has the experience, education and training to analyze complex matters. She understands the needs of the community and how to carefully allocate the limited resources in County government.” Supervisor Gayle Uilkema.
