I'm endorsing Rebecca Lewington for East Bay Regional Park District Director, Ward 3. Why? Because she's the right person for the job! She'll work well with the board and the dedicated staff who make our parks special. Rebecca has the experience, values, and vision needed to protect our open spaces while ensuring everyone in our communities has access to them. She will be a strong voice for our parks and for the East Bay families who rely on them. I hope you'll join me in supporting Rebecca's campaign.
