It has been a while since I have written an article here on the Cupertino Daily, but the upcoming race for Cupertino City Council has rekindled excitement in our city. No, I’m not going to run again for Cupertino City Council. Having run twice, I have grown weary, tired, and perplexed with local politics in Cupertino. I invite each candidate to post their thoughts on the Cupertino Daily to reach readers and voters in our city in an objective and non-salesmanship like tone. I also invite local Cupertino residents, groups, and supporters to send to me their thoughts and contribute position papers/articles on why they support their candidates and what issues they believe are the most pressing for our wonderful and diverse city. I will attempt to post these articles on the Cupertino Daily with minimal edit to provide the best clarity of the author’s voice.
