To the Editor: 

I have worked with LA Wood for more than a year and a half on CEAC (Community Environmental Advisory Commission) both during his term as vice-chair and my own, and can speak with some experience to Mr. Wood's experience and qualifications to run for City Council in the 4th District. LA is a concerned, informed citizen. He shows a great deal of tenacity, care, and attention to detail in his dedication to community issues. He is an honest man, one who is willing to stand up for his beliefs, and who is committed to the citizens of Berkeley. When I heard that he was running for City Council, I was thrilled. LA has tackled social issues ranging the gambit of Berkeley politics, and I can whole-heartedly endorse him as an excellent choice for City Council. Members of the 4th District have the rare chance to vote for a person who displays both compassion and dedication when they cast their votes. If only every city in the nation were so lucky to have individuals who bring such a wide range of interests as well as unparalleled commitment, combined with a relentless desire to see the common good of every citizen brought to the table, this country would be a wealthier place. 

LA Wood represents the finest choice available to the vote for City Council in his district, and without a doubt I endorse his candidacy for this position.
