We are writing to communicate our enthusiastic support for the appointment of Councilmembers Liz Alessio and Mary Luros to 4-year terms on the Council, rather than require them to be included on the ballot this November.
Since they are both running for office unopposed, there is therefore no need to expend precious resources on an election that could be better spent on issues of importance to Napa. Napa Climate NOW! appreciates the efforts they have made to represent the interests of Napa residents.
