Name: Chris Brophy  

Age: 52

Occupation: Merchant

Family: Married with two sons

Hometown: New York, NY. Raised in San Francisco, CA

Qualifications: "I’m not actually qualified to administer the millions of dollars this town turns around every year. I'd hoped by my example and willingness to run, other citizens with these qualifications might enter this race of only three candidates." 

Three most important city issues and how to address them:

1) "Improve civic works results throughout town--sidewalks, roads, drainage projects--while ending the wasteful inefficient misuse of public monies on these projects."

2) "Minimize the City Council, abbreviate meetings, pay the mayor a professional wage making it a real job so results can be demanded by all of us citizens."

3) "Promote existing local small businesses. Avoid anymore future development that doesn't actually improve the community."
