In Emeryville, incumbents Nora Davis, Ruth Atkin and Ken Bukowski as well as challengers Thordie Ashley and Shilen Patel are vying for three positions on the City Council.
Patel, an environmental consultant, says she wants to support transit options to reduce gridlock and increase pedestrian safety in Emeryville, retain and recruit public safety employees and strengthen the relationship between city government and Emeryville's schools.
Bukowski says he wants to adequately staff police and fire services and increase alternative transportation access and connectivity.
Davis says she wants to make Emeryville a leader in the fight against global warming, keep the budget balanced, improve essential city services and improve the quality of life for families and seniors.
Atkin says she wants to improve neighborhood and pedestrian safety and implement a regional response to traffic congestion and support public transit.
Ashley, a retired registered nurse who has been active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, didn't submit a ballot statement.
