Matt is endorsed by the Pleasanton Weekly!  The text of the endorsement follows:

"Of all the good characteristics we like about Matt Sullivan, his absolute devotion to representative government is what we admire most. Sure, his insistence on outside mediation of seemingly unsolvable disputes (St. Clare Episcopal Church v. Valley Trails homeowners, comes to mind) sometimes delays the process, but the end result is usually positive and good for our community. A mechanical engineer, Sullivan brings the logical, well-thought-out thinking of his profession and business experience to the council. While we don't always agree with his views, he's consistent and rightfully seeks to build consensus with constituents. His long service on the Planning Commission gives him broader vision on the many housing, traffic and land use policies and open space preservation issues facing our city. Sullivan speaks his mind clearly and is the voice we need on the City Council."
