Pete Cares about Clayton

   The exciting renovation of 1886 Winery into our new City Hall and Police Dept, typifies my involvement and interest in Clayton.

   Growing up in Clayton in the 1950's and returning home after Vietnam as a "Green Beret", I decided to raise my family here. My wife Sherie and I also plan to eventually retire in beautiful Clayton.

   I have served 12 years as City Councilman and Mayor. Its my continuing "mission" to save our hillsides, creeks, small town friendliness, and &Old West& ambience. We need to be sure to attract desired businesses to downtown that enhance our lifestyle yet blend with the historic Clayton we all love.

As a Realtor for 33 years, I know how important it is that we maintain our historic past, low crime rate, quality of life, and property values.

If re-elected I will use My expreience and abilities to continue to protect and improve Clayton. That's why I am asking for Your vote.
