I count on Ann Schwab's good judgment on every issue. Her natural perspective is based on compassion, wisdom and long-term benefit to our community. She does her homework, is not afraid to speak truth to power, and learns always. In particular, I appreciate that Ann has been a strong supporter of Spare the Air Week and has volunteered both years to ride those buses and do her part to increase the B-Line Transit ridership. I heartily endorse this great council member, Ann Schwab, for another term.

We are fortunate to have Ann on our City Council. She addresses the city's issues from an informed and balanced perspective, courageously offers new ideas, and strongly supports Chico developing sustainable practices. Hard working and knowledgeable about our community, Ann is the person I want to work for Chico on our City Council.

"We have followed Ann Schwab's long and productive public service record in Chico with great admiration for many years. As a leader and advisor of University student volunteers in the community, a member and vice-chair of the Bidwell Park Commission, and most recently City Councilor and vice-mayor, we have admired her thoughtful and inquiring approach to community problems and her considerate treatment of all its citizens. Ann has earned and deserves the support of all Chico voters."
Wes and Phyl Dempsey
Chico is facing many difficult choices and the City Council will be casting many important votes in the next few years. We enthusiastically endorse Ann Schwab to be one of our representatives to make those choices. Her work so far, most especially including her emphasis on sustainability, convinces us she will help defend those facets of Chico that make it special and lead us through these trying times.

Ann has shown she is a forward thinker with Chico's best interest in mind.
Jeff Lindsey
I've known Ann since 2003 when she was a member of the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission. She was co-chair for the Bidwell Park Centennial celebration in 2005 and her concern for Bidwell Park and Greenways was very evident. Ann is a good listener and her decisions are based on the common good. VOTE ANN SCHWAB FOR CITY COUNCIL!

Ann Schwab understands that a flourishing, strong & vibrant economy is ultimately based on the health of our local, regional and global ecosystems. She also understands that the natural beauty of this area is an incredibly valuable long-term public asset that will continue to pay dividends in the form of jobs, resources and recreation as long as it is protected from short-sighted profiteering. Ann is a natural leader, public servant and friend to all Chicoans. I know she loves the people of Chico and wants Chico to continue to be a great place to live. I fully support her campaign for the Chico City Council.

As the rookie on the City Council, I have found Ann to be there always with an open mind and perspective on all the issues. Her commitment for enhancing our quality of life, environment, Bidwell Park, and our Downtown has always been Ann's strength, no questions asked. I could not have a better friend or Council Member to talk to and embrace current city issues.

In addition to her progressive credentials, I'm endorsing Ann Schwab because she is so accessible. Ann always has the time to listen to your concerns. She is an energetic councilmember we can all proudly support.

I’ve worked with Ann Schwab on numerous Bidwell Park volunteer projects. She’s a person who, when she sees a problem, takes action to improve the situation. In addition to her commitment to community service, Ann brings a positive energy to the City Council and her voting record shows that she’s focused on the long term health of Chico.
Susan Mason
Ann Schwab has been one of the most proactive of the current Chico City Councilors. Under her leadership, the Sustainability Task Force has completed a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Audit for our city, and set aggressive benchmarks for reducing our emissions. She also initiated the elimination of the city’s use of plastic water bottles.
Continually, she advocates for keeping Chico the vibrant, beautiful, and livable place it has been. Ann is informed, does her homework, and is always looking to retain Chico’s unique quality of life for present and future generations.

I’m supporting Ann Schwab for City Council because she is looking out for the future of Chico. Her efforts in promoting sustainability will mean that Chico will be able to grow in a resource-efficient manner that will enable it to maintain its many wonderful features. As my conservative Midwestern parents might have said, “Sustainability is living within your means and not wasting what you or others have.” Ann is on the right track.
Bob Odland
“Vice-Mayor Ann Schwab has demonstrated a strong commitment to making Chico a better place. She treats people, even those who might disagree with her on a particular issue, with respect and courtesy. Vice-Mayor Schwab is a thoughtful and accessible leader. She balances her core values yet keeps an open mind to other points of view."
Former City Councilor Dan Nguyen-Tan
I believe supporting Ann Schwab for City Council is a valuable investment in Chico ’s future. I have known Ann for many years and watched her commitment and hard work for community improvements both from a business profit angle and a social service non-profit angle. Ann is the type of experienced person who understands that listening and considering all sides of an issue ends up with the best solution to the issue. Please support Chico ’s future with your vote for Ann Schwab.
Peter Tichinin
I support Ann Schwab for Re-election to Chico City Council because in her first term she has been living up to her campaign promises. She has demonstrated a commitment to sustaining Chico as a livable, friendly, diverse community, in treasured natural setting, even as it grows. Her accessibility to her constituents, ability to listen to all, and her immersion in the current General Plan update process have given her the compass to find the General Plan that best serves Chico for the future.
