Yes on Measure C

Rob Bonta is the Vice Mayor of the City of Alameda and an Alameda County Transportation Commissioner.

Throughout his career in public service, Vice Mayor Bonta has distinguished himself as a strong advocate for public schools. He has fought for public safety, to foster economic development, exercise fiscal responsibility, and improve recreation opportunities for families.

Prior to being elected to the City Council, Rob was an elected member of the Alameda Health Care District Board of Directors, where he ensured that the hospital continued to provide critical, high quality health care services. He also served as the Chair of the Economic Development Commission, where he focused on business attraction and business retention efforts.

Rob and his wife Mialisa live in Alameda with their three children.

Alameda’s unique quality of life comes from its long history as a family friendly place to live and work.

Our quality of life depends on having a solid foundation of safety, and good access to cultural and recreational opportunities.

Measure C is a local half-cent sales tax measure placed on the ballot unanimously by the Alameda City Council. Our City has pressing needs. Measure C will generate enough funds for a new aquatics complex, all-weather multipurpose athletic field, library improvements, and public safety.

Measure C gives Alameda residents local control. Every penny must be spent on these projects and independent financial audits are required by law.

We urge a YES vote on Measure C for our kids, libraries, and public safety.
