“I enthusiastically support Kelly Ramirez for Gilroy City Council. Through her ongoing volunteer activities in the community, including the Gilroy Rotary Club and her work on the Planning Commission, I have seen firsthand Kelly’s desire and interest to create a better life for every Gilroyan. On the Council, she will be a strong voice for public safety and fiscal responsibility, and she brings integrity and fairness that we all deserve from our elected leaders.”

Marie Blankley Mayor of Gilroy

“I am proud to support Kelly Ramirez for Gilroy City Council. Kelly has the ability to create a cohesive team from various backgrounds to work towards a common goal. She operates with Integrity and is respected throughout the community. Her passion for Gilroy is evident in the various volunteer leadership positions she has held and continues to support. Kelly makes the extra effort to do the research required to be well informed of every issue which will be an asset as a City Council Member. She will lead Gilroy forward to keep this a wonderful place to live.”

Cat Tucker Gilroy City Council member ( ret. )

“Kelly is a strong supporter of our local Gilroy businesses and a friend of our small business owners. I am convinced she will be a strong advocate on the Council for policies that strengthen and grow our local economy and create new and exciting opportunities for all our residents.”

Ryan Dinsmore, President Alpine Landscapes

“Having worked with Kelly Ramirez at the YWCA, I know first-hand her strong leadership skills, commitment to the community, and dedication to our youth. I wholeheartedly support Kelly for Gilroy City Council where I am confident she will continue providing the leadership, compassion, and vision our city needs in the coming years.”

Keri McLain, CEO YWCA Silicon Valley ( ret. )

“Kelly Ramirez would be an outstanding addition to the Gilroy City Council. She is laser-focused on the issues of improving police and fire protection and safe neighborhoods and can be counted on to push back against state mandates that take away Gilroy’s ability to control its own destiny and pace of growth. She will also bring a renewed commitment to transparency and accountability in city government.”

Don Gage Gilroy Mayor and Santa Clara County Supervisor ( ret. )

“I have been impressed by Kelly’s energy, determination, and love for the City of Gilroy. In all her many civic and volunteer activities as well as her leadership role on the Planning Commission, Kelly works passionately to build a safer, more prosperous community for everyone, regardless of economic or social status. She will bring those same talents and qualities to the Gilroy City Council. That’s why I support Kelly Ramirez!”

Mark Turner Mayor of Morgan Hill

“I was one of the first few who recommended Kelly Ramirez run for City Council. In all my dealings with her, and my observations on how she interacted with the community on different issues, I was convinced that she would be a valuable addition to the City Council. Her passion and willingness to dive in and work hard to find solutions to the issues lead me to endorse her as a candidate for council, and I look forward to working with her once she is elected.”
