Letter: “No” to Nevin

I am supporting Leland Yee for State Senator because of his experience, his thoughtfulness, his commitment to healthcare, education, the environment, and to the broad community. 

Mike Nevin, in comparison, has consistently sided with pro-development/anti-citizen campaigns from his ties with Stockbridge Capital, the Bay Meadows racetrack developer to his ties to the developer trying to erect high-rises at Pete’s Harbor on the Redwood City Shores.

Nevin’s State Senate campaign manager is Seamus Murphy, who, according to the SF Business Times, "took a leave of absence from San Mateo Supervisor Mike Nevin’s office," to manage the developer’s campaign in Redwood City. The "Yes on Measure Q" campaign (about a million dollars of Glenborough-Pauls developer money) included attorney Russell Miller, who was also paid by the Bay Meadows developer to help quash our San Mateo citizen referendum. Miller, too, now works on Mike Nevin’s State Senate campaign.

A vote for Leland Yee will be a good start at cleaning up Peninsula politics.
