“Mary is a strong voice for children and quality schools -- and a responsible leader
for all of us who make our homes in Contra Costa.”
 
Senator Tom Torlakson, 7th District

“Mary Piepho joined the board when the county was facing some long neglected, difficult challenges. She went right to work,brought people together, invited input and, then, made the tough decisions to address those problems.

Progress has been made, but Mary knows there is still much to do and is determined to do it. With her on the job, our county will see growing improvement and changes for the better."

Lynne Leach,
Former Assemblywoman, 15thA.D.

"After working with Mary on the Vasco Road safety task force. I can say she is a strong supporter of this cause. She attends all the meetings and listens to all concerns. Because of Mary many saftey improvements have been put in place and she still is working on the long term goal of widening all of Vasco Road. I admire her for pushing forward and gathering support of elected officals for the safety of all who drive this road. More times than not it is a thankless job you do but I Thank You from the bottom of my heart for all your efforts."

Jim Frazier

"Mary brought change to the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors when she joined the Board three years ago. She represents the residents of Contra Costa County with its diverse political challenges by listening and bringing people together in an effort to solve the County's many difficult issues."

results
.”

"This letter serves as my formal endorsement of Mary Piepho for reelection to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors District 3. Mary has been a tireless fighter for the residents of her district and continues to serve with the best for all in mind with each decision she makes. She has reached out to those who do not always agree with her to try and gather a consensus before acting. We need elected leaders like Mary to guide us through these tough financial times in our county. Please join me in supporting Mary Piepho for 3rd District Supervisor in Contra Costa County."
