Raj Abhyanker candidate statement
Candidate Statement of: Raj Abhyanker
Occupation: Block Leader/CEO Age: 32
Fellow Cupertino citizens,
Cupertino is my home. My wife Sonal and I are raising our kids here. I was born in
the Bay Area and am proud to be an American. Through drive and dedication, I have
helped to build successful high tech companies. More recently, I have applied that same
drive and determination to community service.
I have a vision for Cupertino. I imagine a Cupertino that offers retail experiences
that make us proud that we live in this city. I see a Cupertino that offers retail such as
bookstores, restaurants, coffee shops – surrounded by artistically-crafted neighborhoods
where people talk, mingle, shop and meet their friends and neighbors. I plan for a
Cupertino in which we take care of seniors by keeping taxes low and by providing health
services that are accessible. I will build a Cupertino which attracts venture capital to
foster a resident culture of entrepreneurship in our schools and in our community.
We will have a Cupertino in which we plan for sustainability and character in
everything we do. I have the leadership skills and trust among residents to make this
vision a reality. Please vote for me in November.
Thanks, Raj Abhyanker
