"Re-Elect"
Patrick J. Sullivan
for Foster City Council 2024
"Leadership Not Politics"
Vision on the Topics for Community
One word captures my vision of Foster City: Community. This vital concept must be a central factor when considering where we want to be, as a community, 10, 25, or even 50 years from now. As your current mayor and a 34 years resident it's become essential to have leaders that put the city and community first, to focus on solutions around the issues facing our residents, instead of the same politicians that represent the same agendas. I have always valued public service and truly represent Foster City. Topics like Economic Development, City Budget, Traffic, Housing, Business Development, the Foster City Levee, and our Rec. center are issues the community feels strongly about. When I am re-elected, rest assured that the people of Foster City will be of the utmost concern to me as we face the future together—as a vibrant, united, and prosperous city with a robust sense of community.

Vision on the Topics for our Community
Economic Development - We need continued vision for economic development for the future. We have a great opportunity to plan for the next 50 years and planning for economic sustainability needs to be front and center.
Ensure Housing Projects Meet Community Needs - Housing proposals should be assessed on project-by-project basis, and prioritized based on the type of housing we need -- senior housing, workforce housing, below market rental or affordable purchase. I have the experience we need to evaluate these proposals.
Council Decorum- We should always follow Robert’s Rule of order and also respect other Councilmembers and most of all the public and residents. Here's info on the Brown act.
Budget Management - Continued focus on budget through lower deficit spending and pension reform.
Address Traffic Concerns- We need fresh solutions to our traffic challenges. I will work with the Transit Authority to connect all forms of transportation through one card, and will work with major employers on flexible hours and work from home solutions. I will listen to neighborhoods, and work with them to address their concerns.
Recreation Center- We must ensure that proposals meet the needs of our future, and choose the path that makes the most sense for our community. I pledge a robust community engagement process where your voice is heard.
