Scott’s background as a land use attorney will help the entire City in this critical period of growth. He will be able to successfully negotiate with developers and understand what the deal means. As the parent of two young children, Scott has a stake in the future of this City. He is gifted with a unique ability to listen and ask the right questions. I strongly endorse Scott. I know all the candidates for District 1 and Scott is far and away the most knowledgeable and best qualified. Kevin McNamara Former President, Rancho Penasquitos Planning Board I have known Scott in several different contexts, in each of which he has demonstrated his intelligence and skill as a problem solver, and has shown his overriding commitment to the betterment of San Diego. His skill and acumen at understanding land use, zoning, and related complex city government matters is impressive, as is his ability to analyze and digest these complex matters, get to the "heart" of problems, identify the various interests, and pull together solutions favoring the good planning/environmental preservation perspectives of the citizens and residents of the City of San Diego. Dwight Worden Land Use and Environmental Attorney Worden, Williams, Richmond, Brechtel, & Gibbs Having worked for five years as the senior trial attorney for environmental cases for the San Diego County Counsel’s office, Scott is uniquely qualified among all the candidates to understand how local government really works and apply that knowledge for the benefit of our district. He is fair and he is humble. He is an excellent listener. He wants to hear our concerns, hopes, and suggestions. Pamela Naughton Attorney Carmel Valley resident I have known Scott for many years. He has always struck me as a level-headed, intelligent man who cares about his family, his work, and his community. As the owner of a technology-based industry, I have concerns about what will happen to the city and the technology industry. Scott understands the importance of how the free market and quality of life can benefit one another. His commitment to encouraging and supporting technology-based companies as a means of ensuring a high quality of life is the necessary approach. Charlie Silver CEO, RealAge.com We all want to be proud of the legacy we leave to future San Diegans -- the stability of our economy, the strength of our community, and the protection of our environment.

He will be a welcomed addition to public leadership in the City of San Diego! Linda Giannelli Pratt Former Director, Community Sustainability Program San Diego Natural History Museum Scott Peters is the one candidate in District 1 who has a vision for the future of our city, who has experience on issues from housing density to civil rights to landfills, who knows how to get the job done. We need someone who is as thoughtful, knowledgeable and practical as Scott sitting on the City Council. Kevin Tilden Director of Communications California American Water Company My dad is the bomb! Vote for him! E. M. Peters Age 8 San Diego native Having worked with Scott Peters professionally in complex legal and governmental matters, I am pleased to endorse him for the San Diego City Council.  His demonstrated skills in law and local government make Scott the most qualified of all the candidates for the District 1 City Council position. Most recently, Scott was instrumental in helping protect San Luis Obispo County in an extremely complex and sensitive legal matter pertaining to solid waste collection.  He is responsive to the needs of the public and will no doubt bring new perspectives and solutions to the citizens and residents of the City of San Diego as an elected public official. Raymond A. Biering Deputy County Counsel, San Luis Obispo County I had the pleasure of working with Scott Peters on a complex, controversial and perhaps even groundbreaking project.  His ability to cut to the heart of the issue and offer options in a cooperative, non-combative manner would make him an asset to any team, particularly a City Council.  Scott has proved, over and over again, that his commitment to consumer protection and community well-being are paramount.  In this day, with more and more good people shying away from public office, San Diegians can confidently go to the election booth knowing that they are not having to settle for the best of two mediocre candidates, but that they can select a well qualified, outstanding candidate, Scott Peters.  Ellen O. Sturtz San Luis Obispo County Franchise Administrator
