Dear Supporter:

The results are in and my grassroots campaign for the San Jose City Council appears to be over. With all of the precincts reporting, we have missed the run-off election by a mere 118 votes out of nearly 20,000 total votes cast!

In spite of the disappointing results, my commitment to improving the quality of life for our families and our neighborhoods in San Jose is stronger than ever. This campaign has energized my lifelong commitment to public service and I hope you will join me in working with our new mayor to improve the quality of life in San Jose.

After meeting thousands of city residents living on every street and every neighborhood in District 6, I have an even greater awareness of the needs of our city. As a social worker, a member of several boards and commissions and a District 6 neighborhood leader, you can trust that I'm going to continue my advocacy work on behalf of all working families in San Jose.

Our campaign has placed hundreds of yard signs throughout District 6 and I need your help in getting them down. As someone committed to neighborhood beautification, please remove your yard sign as soon as possible.

As a veteran of several political campaigns, the following are some creative ideas for reuse of your yard sign:

  • place under hedges and bushes to suppress weeds
     
  • use to lay on while making repairs under your car
     
  • use for snow-sledding this winter in Tahoe
     
  • use for insulation for a dog house or other backyard structure
     
  • build a “dollhouse” or “castle” for your son or daughter
     
  • cover your sign and use to promote your next yard or garage sale
     
  • donate metal stakes to another political candidate
     

Please join me in thanking the hundreds of volunteers, donors and supporters who joined me in this effort to improve the quality of life in San Jose. I especially want to thank my volunteer campaign manager, Marty Grimes, and my team of dedicated precinct walkers for their selfless dedication to our shared cause.

Thank you so much for being a part of this grassroots campaign and for making this entire experience so enjoyable for me, Jim, Caroline and our entire family.

Sincerely,



Clark Williams
