Councilman Ashbaugh thanks you for your support, invites you to election night party!

Election Day is quickly approaching, and my campaign has been running well – in spite of the attempts by some of my challengers to cast aspersions on my character.

As I continue to walk the neighborhoods and listen in and talk with San Luis Obispo residents, I’ve been gratified by the unstinting support from those of you who have known me and worked with me in the past. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have empowered me to be a “leader who listens,” continually engaged in learning how I can do a better job to serve you.

It has been a rewarding experience being able to represent my friends and neighbors of San Luis Obispo. Together, we have accomplished many things that will benefit our community for years to come – new bike paths and open space, expanded homeless services, an Economic Development Strategic Plan as well as the Local Climate Action Plan. I strive at every occasion to be a good LISTENER: The best ideas are often those that we get from YOU, from the public, from our Advisory Bodies, and from my colleagues. I will continue to invite your ideas or opinions that you want your Council to hear.

Finally, let me invite you to join me and a fine crew of volunteers at the Graduate on Industrial Way in SLO on Election Night. The party starts after the polls have closed at 8 p.m.. You can expect a good time with wine, beer, and snacks supplied by the SLO County Democratic Central Committee as well as my campaign.
