Editorial: Karen Holman for Midpeninsula Open Space District Board

Open space district needs Holman's experience, passion and temperament

“We believe Holman is the better choice. Her service on the city’s planning commission and council and as mayor, and her MROSD involvement (including co-chairing the strategic-planning advisory committee), make her a more prepared and passionate candidate ... .”

“More importantly, we have seen ... Holman’s ... leadership styles, including when ... served as Palo Alto mayor, and we think Holman brings a much more collaborative approach and a temperament better suited for an MROSD board that is functioning well in a non-political environment.”

“... Holman is the best candidate to ensure the continued success of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District.”

“I am retiring from the board of Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District this year, after co-founding it and serving since its inception in 1972. In my place, I am strongly recommending former Palo Alto Mayor Karen Holman. Karen worked with the District as co-chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee that led to the successful Measure AA campaign of 2014. Karen is exceptional, and there is no one else I can think of better qualified to take my seat to serve Ward 5.”

“I have worked with Karen for more than 20 years since she began as a neighborhood activist and served with her as co-chair on the SOFA II Working Group. I continued to follow her as a Planning Commissioner, City Council member and Mayor. She was also a key member of the Mid-peninsula Regional Open Space District's Citizens Advisory Committee, helping plan for the future of the District. I know few leaders who have as rigorous a work ethic and moral compass as Karen. She is the clear choice for Ward 5 - we need her unshakeable environmental leadership!”
