Occupation: Hayward Planning Commissioner
The City of Hayward stands at a crossroads - our safety and quality of life are at stake. I'm running for City Council because I fundamentally believe Hayward can be better.
I was born in Hayward. I've lived here for 38 years. I received my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Cal State Hayward. Community service is important in my life. Currently I serve on the Hayward Planning Commission. I'm a past Chairperson of the Hayward Citizens Advisory Commission, and past Vice President of the Woodland Estates Community Association.
I will work for solutions to Hayward's most urgent problems-crime, blight, illegal dumping and littering, struggling neighborhoods, improving our schools, traffic and the need for jobs and economic development to stimulate our local economy.
As a former Budget Analyst, I'm deeply concerned that the State continues taking money away from Hayward, which rightfully belongs to our city. I will provide leadership to fight this disturbing trend.
Working together we can achieve a safer, cleaner, greener, more prosperous Hayward. I welcome your suggestions. Contact me at 510-538-2516. I will respond!
I am endorsed by hundreds of citizens across Hayward. I would appreciate your support on Election Day too. Learn more at www.marvinpeixoto.com. Thank you!
