Trish listens to the people of Alameda. She is very visible in the community. She has the best interest of the Alameda people when comes to what is best for our community. She is honest and trustworthy.

Trish is honest and respects the opinions of the Alameda community. She votes on what is right for the residents of Alameda. She is friendly and out going. She is everything we need on City Council.

Trish works harder than any politician I’ve met. She makes decisions based on what’s best for the people of Alameda, not what’s best for herself or special interests.

CalTrans was going to cancel the grant for the first part of the Cross Alameda Trail section in the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park because construction could not be started by the required date. Without the grant, the trail and park development would have been delayed for years. As Mayor, Trish traveled with ARPD Director Amy Wooldridge, Jim Sweeney and I to Los Angeles to appeal to the CalTrans Board. The CalTrans staff recommended cancelling the grant because they NEVER grant extensions to grants. Because of our efforts to make the appeal in person, the CalTrans Board voted in our favor and now the Cross Alameda Trail is well on its way to being completed and Phase 1 of the park is now one of the most popular parks in Alameda.

Trish is the most honest politician you’ll ever meet. She supports all Alamedans against bullies and stands up for everyone. She is Balanced And considers all matters carefully, is fair and works tirelessly, to work on solutions. I feel she will bring back something we are missing, someone who is more in tune with our town. We are an Island and need to keep it safe and clean. I worry about how we will get off the Island in emergencies with the installation of the new bike lanes on park street and Webster. To get out through the tunnel, we can’t have so much congestion! NY has A Corona Virus problem due in part to public transportation. We are not better off getting everyone on public transportation at this time. We need to be very concerned about this going out of control.

Trish was the people’s mayor, she cared more for the people of Alameda than politics which can not be said of the current city council. I support Trish, she is always available and listens to people’s concerns.
Trish, Alameda needs you! We will welcome you back.

Trish not only was the “People’s Mayor”, but she is trustworthy and you can count on her to do what she has promised. I know if she is elected she will work hard to make Alameda great again! We need Trish to win, so let’s work hard to make it happen…

She is for the people of Alameda.

Trish’s title of the “People’s Mayor” is well earned. Both during and after serving on Council; she was/is constantly and visibly out and about, with the people of Alameda. She energetically seeks input to understand all sides of the issues, and inform viable solutions. She is the hardest government worker you will ever find; she tirelessly researches issues before opining. She has extensive experience volunteering across Alameda, and deeply understands our town’s issues an opportunities. With a track record of solving problems for our City, she is exactly what we need on City Council.

Trish is for the people of ALAMEDA! VOTE FOR TRISH!

My husband and I have lived in Alameda for 43 years. In that time we have raised a family and restored our cherished Victorian home. We are very aware of how special Alameda is and it saddens us deeply to see the direction our local government is taking Alameda. Trish has a similar love for this city and keeping it safe, family friendly and historically preserved is truly her passion. Anyone who has ever met Trish knows they have met a truly genuine, and competent person. A combination that is almost impossible to find in politics.

I’ve worked with Trish Spencer on the Oakland Airport Noise Forum when she was Mayor of Alameda. It was clear that she was very focused on the aircraft noise impacts that were impacting the quality of life for Alamedans and the people of the region as she was definitely outspoken on these issues. I’ve heard unempirically that the Oakland Airport Noise Forum is one that most elected officials avoids due to a perceived ‘no-win’ situation against federal rules and the complaints of the public on untenable noise impacts. I think Trish was probably the first Alameda Mayor to rise to this challenge, learned about the in’s and out’s of the policies, and worked to be a voice to channel quality of life impactful changes. Needless to say, she’s not afraid to tackle ‘no-win’ situations to make change. She’s not afraid to hear criticism and many of the members and participants of the Noise Forum has recognized her well for her steadfastness in dealing with these matters.

Trish is a straight shooter, she is not wishy washy. I believe she will be more moderate with development, realizing that we live on an island and have limited egress and access. She is not beholden to ANY unions.

My wife and I have lived in Alameda since 1977. We have enjoyed the residential character of the city, which offered safety and traditional family values while raising children. It also afforded us the opportunity to involve ourselves in home restoration, with other families similarly interested in preserving old homes throughout the island. Much of the desirable character of Alameda has been eroded by various factors. Currently it is under attack by local and state governments to dramatically increase housing density and congestion under the guise of affordability and fairness for all. I support Trish Spencer as someone who will bring some common sense and concern for current residents to city government.

Trish Spencer listens and tries to work hard to be fair to ALL Alamedans. She is well balanced and experienced as our prior mayor and has the ability to make projects work by analyzing what the consequences are for every decision made by our city council. Trish is concerned about our traffic and evacuation plans in case of a major earthquake and promotes SMART GROWTH on our island city. Trish is not swayed by unions and special-interests; unlike other council member candidates whose campaign funds come from big unions. Trish will get my vote because she is honest and ethical; unlike other council members who have been proven guilty of violating the city charter. Trish will get my vote because she deals with issues sensibly and realistically in ways that are based on practical rather than political considerations. Trish will get my vote because she sincerely cares about the direction Alameda is going. Most importantly, Trish is the MOST QUALIFIED candidate who has been on the school board, is a licensed attorney and was our prior mayor. This is an important election and we must vote for a candidate that represents all of us – vote for Trish Spencer.

I believe that Trish makes all of her decisions based on a simple metric. What is best for Alameda?

I am endorsing Trish for Council because I have noted in the past that she carefully studies an issue and makes carefully thought out decisions. In the past she has supported rent control, but it has not been the radical rent control which drives small income property landlords out of the business, and lessens the availability of living units for renters. I believe that she loves our city and will fight for what is best for its future.

I trust her to do what is in the best interest of Alamedans.

Unlike many politicians who will say anything to your face, but have a hidden agenda, Trish is a straight forward person who likes to get all the information in before making an opinion on what should happen next. When she is elected to serve on the City Council she will work hard to hear your concerns and do what is best for ALL the residents of Alameda.

I trust Trish Spencer as City Councilwoman because she is not beholden to any special interest groups and she’s a woman of color who has a proven record of standing up for disenfranchised. As Mayor of Alameda, Trish often stood for the betterment of Alameda as a whole. She also supported the enrichment of the Filipino American community in Alameda. Hers is a voice that we need in power in Alameda.

Trish has been very supportive of our non profit organizations, attending meetings and events… Vote for her. Thanks!

She is a very warm person. She never decline our association’s (BCI) invitation for a celebration and she talks to everyone of us as if we’ve been long time friends. She has no feeling of racial inequality and everyone enjoys her company. I wish I live in Alameda so I could campaign for her. She is the only Alameda Mayor that had been in our gatherings. She is just so lovable, sincere, honest, understanding, dedicated and I heartily endorse her as one of the councilwomen.

When Trish Spencer was the Mayor of Alameda, she was so very enthusiastic on every activity we had at the Bohol Circle Center. She made it available and never hesitated on giving advise for the good of our organization when asked. She was really the people’s Mayor in Alameda….I am endorsing Trish Spencer for City Council in Alameda.

I wholeheartedly support Trish for City Council. Personally I have never met a politician I respect more. Not for any positions she has taken but because her positions (whether I agree with them or not) are well reasoned, supported by facts and evidence, and not influenced by outside political forces or motivations.

Trish has a long record of fighting for Alamedans. She is open and approachable and willing to listen to anyone and everyone’s opinion and share why she takes any position on an issue. Trish is an independent thinker and has always been ready to take on the political machine that has its roots deep in alameda politics.

In these time we NEED politicians who are open, accessible, passionate and compassionate, and willing to go against the established order (when the established order is not serving the needs of today’s citizenry). Alameda faces rough times ahead, as do all Americans. 2020 has been a incredibly hard year and now more than ever we NEED representatives who not only speak to the issues of today’s voters, but politicians who represent the people, all the people, be it issues of economics or social justice, or health or any of the classic issues Alamedans face regarding development traffic, etc. We need politicians who will partner with the people to begin a new tomorrow, today.

Because she cares about Alameda and has dedicated her life to balancing what’s good for the people and good for the businesses of Alameda.

Trish has demonstrated her commitment to the City of Alameda, serving on the School Board and as a Mayor. Trish is not beholden to any politicians and or entities. Trish is only interested in serving for the betterment of the City of Alameda. A vote for Trish is a vote for the City of Alameda.

I endorsed Trish because she respects the Property Rights of Owners. She has the experience to address all issues concerning the citizens of Alameda.

Trish cares about Alameda and always has. She is the perfect fit for city council.

Trish has shown that she has the right vision for Alameda and she can’t be “bought” when it comes to decisions. Go Trish!!!

Trish puts the best interests of Alameda first. She understands we need change but more importantly understands we must do it responsibly. We need to build, but at the same time need to preserve what makes Alameda special. I trust her in making those delicate decisions that will shape our island for decades to come. As she is very approachable to all Alamedans, she will listen and make the tough decisions that will benefit us the most rather than developers and other special interests.

As a long time resident of Alameda and a keen observer of city politics it is obvious it is time for a change in the city council. The expensive and embarrassing Grand Jury investigation highlighted the special interests who Oddie and Vella really represent.

Trish is a fearless and independent voice who will not kowtow to unions, special interests, or developers who threaten to overwhelm our beautiful city. Stop the corruption. Vote for Trish.

I’ll endorse Ms. Trish for Alameda City Council. She is a good reliable candidate & she does a remarkable & a fantastic job when she was the Mayor of Alameda. It will benefit residence of Alameda & our organization if she’s elected. Thank you.

Ms. Trish Spencer is a strong woman very helpful to all people regardless of their ethnicity, religious background etc. Best person to work with very compassionate, energetic, & understanding, she did a fantastic job. Ms. Trish is the best person to be our Alameda City Council. Thank you.

Trish has always had one goal and that is to Work for what’s best for Alameda… not for political machines. We truly need strong individuals who aren’t afraid to speak up against special interests… Trish cares not about what’s best for herself but for the people of Alameda.

I endorse Trish because I’ve witnessed her constant dedication to the support of our city’s needs, most especially her passionate concerns for our youth in Alameda. She is a good friend to many of my personal friends that reside in Alameda and always respectable and down to earth and will represent us Alamedans well. She’s pretty cool.

She is a very personable lady. She reaches out to her constituents by visiting them or gracing their events with her presence. She shows empathy in various ways to the people of Alameda. That’s a good trait of a politician.

She is very supportive to any fundraising event happening in Alameda, always present to participate in the activities happening at the Mastick Senior Center in Alameda, supports the Seniors and always responds to all the religious invitations as guest speakers involving military /armed forces celebrations. My husband Max and I will be happy to endorse her in the Alameda City Council…

I endorsed Trish for City Council for her dedication to Alameda citizens. Her policy decisions are independently made for Alamedans and not for special interest group.

Trish supports sensible growth that takes traffic problems into consideration. The current council majority supports fast, massive over-development regardless on its effect on the quality of life in Alameda.

She CARES about the city and All of its residents.
She is not in the unions’ pockets (independent)

I like Trish because she is dedicated to the welfare of the City.

Trish has a pulse on everything happening in Alameda and is in touch with the people of Alameda, literally. You can find her participating in many of the events around town. She always makes the time to talk with you and to listen to what you have to say. She looks at all issues individually and makes her decisions based on what’s best for the people of Alameda.

I am a 96 year old retired Navy veteran and I will vote for Trish Spencer because she is honest and hard working.

Trish tries to be FAIR to ALL people.

Trish is for the people and not for out of city special interest group.

She will preserve what’s best about Alameda and help move us forward. Because she will do everything she can to stop the runaway developments of market rate housing at the cost of traffic, congestion, loss of the natural beauty of our city, and destruction of much of our shopping center. She has stood up for truth, transparency and democracy before (I saw it firsthand at Alameda community learning Center as it was losing its democratic structure and she came to many meetings to support the teachers and students), and she will do it for our beautiful city.

Trish is good for Alameda, A real down home person. She does not care about your Religion background, Ethnicity or Race. She will do what is best for Alameda. Friendly and Kind, and will fight for the Citizens of Alameda. She will Represent our Little Island, and make us all proud.

Trish cares a lot about our historical neighborhoods and has been very generous with her time in volunteering for different events like the legacy home tour and Alameda Museum tours. I really appreciate all that she’s done for the citizens of this town.

I endorsed Trish for mayor and we need her back on City Council. Trish is one of those rare people who truly puts our local interests above all others. She is truly nonpartisan and does not have a national agenda. She is not the puppet of any larger political machine. Despite being from Southern California, she is more Alameda oriented than some of our local “born-and-raised-here” politicians. As a 3d generation Alameda native, I believe Trish Herrera Spencer is the best choice for Alameda city council.

If you know Trish at all, you know she’s not anything right, left, or wrong. She goes by the facts, reads all documents, and listens to the people to understand what matters to us. She’s the only elected who has done this in the 15 years I’ve been in this city. Vote Trish!

Alameda needs pragmatic, fiscally responsible leaders who will represent all Alamedans. Trish’s experience and clear focus on the good of our town and not dogmatic political agendas make her an easy choice.

Trish was a fantastic Mayor. Made our island a better place she has positive energy and makes decisions for the betterment of our community. Also very active in all aspects.

Since taking local politics more seriously than the national stage, I chose to watch a recent ZOOM video put on by the League of Women Voters where the same questions were posed to each candidate. I listened to each candidate with an open mind and by the end of the video, it was clear to me who would represent my values with the most integrity: Trish Herrera Spencer.

Because she truly cares about Alameda. She’s transparent and an awesome human!

Trish is a people person and cares about the City of Alameda. Trish is very supportive to any fundraising event happening in Alameda, always present to participate in the activities happening in Alameda.

My friend, Trish will greet you with a smile and an eagerness to understand and help you. She won’t care how much you contributed to her campaign, only how she can help you and earn your support.
Trish has shown a willingness to stand up to the forces of corruption and greed that seek to change your lifestyle and the beauty that is Alameda. She has a sharp legal mind, studies issues and legislation and will detect and defend us against well crafted, deceptive campaigns designed to exploit and soil our paradise.
It would be a shame to see her once again be hobbled by the same hearing impaired, unprincipled incumbents. Please note: there is another council seat needs a fresh face as well. Vote for Trish, her smile and integrity… and another fresh face.
