Richmond candidates Myrna Lopez and Maria Viramontes are making news in their races for City Council. Their top priorities are creating jobs in Richmond to get residents back to work, and improving public safety.
Richmond has been learning more about Lopez and Viramontes in recent days as they have been getting the word out.
According to a mail piece advocating on behalf of Myrna Lopez:
Fighting to Bring 1,200 New Jobs to Richmond: Myrna Lopez knows creating good-paying jobs in Richmond begins with working with Richmond’s biggest employers – not driving them away. As a member of the City Council, Myrna Lopez drove a tough bargain with Chevron for an agreement that would have created 1,200 new jobs and reduced pollution by upgrading older equipment at the refinery.
According to the piece about Maria Viramontes:
Creating a Brighter Future for Richmond Tomorrow: Nine years ago, Maria took civic involvement to a new level, running and winning a seat on the Richmond City Council. In those nine years, she has been a tireless advocate for turning Richmond around to restore the glory of yesteryear. She has fought to put more police on our streets to tackle our crime problem, invest in attracting new jobs to Richmond, and revitalizing our downtown.
A new website has also been launched, RichmondJobsNow.org, to report news in Richmond.
The mail pieces available here say that they are paid for by Jobs Now, a coalition supporting Lopez and Viramontes for City Council in 2010.
