Doria Summa
For Palo Alto City Council
I love Palo Alto. And I believe all our residents want a Palo Alto that sustains its residents, remains a great place to raise our children, nurtures dreamers, protects the natural environment and is welcoming to all.
The Leadership Our City Needs Right Now
Why I Am Running
My goal in running for Palo Alto’s City Council is simply to continue serving the people of Palo Alto.
In 2017, I had the honor of being chosen by the City Council to serve on Palo Alto’s Planning and Transportation Committee. I have been re-appointed and currently serve as Vice Chair.
A major role of the Planning and Transportation Commission is to review and improve policies and projects before they go to Council for decision. My experience and knowledge gained there has taught me that there are no simple answers: all issues are complex with intended and unintended consequences.
My experience on the Planning and Transportation Commission has educated me to the many different perspective of residents throughout our city. On Council I will continue to respect and remember these differences in perspectives.
I would view it as an honor to serve the people of Palo Alto as a Council Member.
