Mike's Message
Dear Concerned Citizen,
These are historically challenging times,
which make a candidate's background more
important than ever. I am the only
candidate for Supervisor who is a business
owner and a Certified Financial Planner,
served two terms as Mayor and balanced
budgets every year without eliminating
services.
This is the background necessary to promote
economic growth, fiscal,
responsibility and job creation, which in
turn will allow critical County services to
be provided in the most cost effective way
possible. I have the skill set you want
in your County Supervisor.

Mike
Wasserman earns endorsement of Supervisor Don Gage!
“I
looked at all the candidates carefully,” said Gage, “I felt
Mike Wasserman had the best qualifications – the right
experience and commitment needed to tackle the tough issues
the county will face.”
“Don Gage led efforts to get county spending under control
and make government more transparent,” said Wasserman,
“obviously his support is a huge boost to my campaign and
adds to the momentum we’ve been building.”
Wasserman has earned the support of numerous leaders,
including former Assemblyman and Chamber CEO Jim Cunneen, as
well as 25 current and former Mayors (see complete list
under endosrsements).
“Government can’t do everything, we have to set priorities
and focus on them,” said Wasserman. “My priorities are
clear: help the local economy and create jobs, balance the
budget and ensure public safety so families and communities
are protected.”
“I will be working hard to help Mike win,” said Gage, “I’ve
worked hard over the past 12 years, and I want to ensure
District 1 continues to be represented by someone who has
the same commitment I have. That’s why I’m supporting Mike
Wasserman.”

"We would like to
formally announce our support of Mike
Wasserman as the District 1 Santa Clara
County Supervisor. Over the years, the Los
Gatos Police Officers Association has had
the opportunity to work with Mike as a
community member and elected official. Mike
always thinks of the best interest of the
community first. He carefully examines the
community's needs in all of his decisions.
Mike is honest and always follows through
with his commitments. It has been a true
pleasure to have Mike as the Mayor of the
Town of Los Gatos and as a Councilman."
