Gilbert Wong candidate statement
Candidate Statement of: Gilbert Wong
Occupation: Small Business Owner Age:40
Cupertino is a wonderful community where my wife and I are
raising our two young daughters. I am running because I want to
maintain our quality of life and our suburban integrity so Cupertino can
remain a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
I will bring my life experiences to the city council as a Planning
Commissioner, Chamber of Commerce board member, School Site
Council President, Rotary member, small business owner, father and
husband.
My goals are to maintain Cupertino’s small town character, open
space, and quality of our schools. We must balance and manage our
growth and not build at the expense of our neighborhoods. Our city
needs to revitalize our outdated retail centers, create more affordable
housing, reduce traffic congestion at our schools, and maintain our
city’s charm.
As a proven leader and dedicated community volunteer, my
commitment is to ensure your voice will be heard at city hall. I will
listen and be proactive to the concerns of our citizens. I pledge to
support accountability, fiscal responsibility, open communication,
retention of services and strategic partnerships between our residents,
businesses, and schools. I respectfully ask for your vote.
