I run again for council, after 12 years as councilmember and three times mayor, because I have more direct experience than anyone in the issues facing Millbrae. Good judgment, leadership and experience continue to be needed.

Millbrae is entering a critical new phase as development around the BART station will change the area dramatically. Change is inevitable; we must guide it wisely.

My twelve years on council provide me understanding of the issues to make the best decisions regarding the elements presented by this growth.

I have strived to enable positive change. I have exercised leadership and teamwork to contribute substantial improvement in public safety, quality of life, and financial sustainability for our city.

A Vietnam veteran with 26 years Naval Reserve service, retired as Captain, I developed leadership, judgment, and stability which will be needed for our near future.

Practicing law in Millbrae, serving in Rotary Club 15 years, life member of Friends of Millbrae Library, and serving on 18 boards and commissions over recent years, I am involved.

I will be grateful for your vote.

Thank you sincerely,

Robert G. Gottschalk

I have lived in this community for the last 30+ years and I have seen the booms and busts of our economy. I have seen the city cut back on spending and programs to the bone. During my first term on the city council, it has been my priority to create programs for a sustainable economy in a fair and transparent manner. I want our community to feel financially secure so our children and grandchildren can live in Millbrae without the burden of high taxes and crushing debt.

As the Mayor, I worked with the council to revitalize our economy, saved the fire station near 280, created new sources of revenues and businesses, install up-to-date playgrounds equipment, paved roads for the first time in years, and created a task force for economic development and infrastructure, and raised our credit rating to ++A (equal to Burlingame).

My service to Millbrae includes: Planning Commissioner for five years (Chair), President of the PTA, and the founding President of the Millbrae Education Foundation.

I teach and mentor teens through the Millbrae Leos Club and coach AYSO soccer. I owned small businesses.

I respectfully ask for your vote.
