Former Assemblywoman Lynne Leach endorses Arne! "In these extremely challenging financial times, we need people who are proven stewards of the taxpayers dollars, common sense decision makers and well experienced in the running of local governments and regional agencies. Arne Simonsen is such a person. Antioch taxpayers are fortunate that he is presenting himself in service to them once again."
“As a former 3-time Mayor of Clayton working with Arne Simonsen, I was impressed with his dedication to Antioch’s future & citizens, his
willingness to work hard on regional issues that affected our areas, and his integrity and intelligence, seeing 'the big' picture as well as the short range solutions to problems. Antioch in my opinion would be lucky to have Arne Simonsen back on their City Council.” Pete Laurence.Oakley Councilman Bruce Connelley endorses Arne Simonsen for the Antioch City Council. Bruce writes: “As a Councilman, Arne has done more for the East County, the Delta Region and the State than any other Councilman I know. It was a great loss when Arne wasn’t re-elected in 2008. The citizens of Antioch need to correct this. Vote
for Arne Simonsen in 2010!”Pleasanton Vice Mayor Jerry Thorne endorses my campaign for the Antioch City Council. Jerry says, "It will be great to have Arne working with the League of California Cities again. Arne preceded me as President of the East Bay Division of the League and I can tell you that his leadership and insights have been missed. ...Looking forward to working with you again, Arne.
