“I am honored to serve as your District 2 Concord City Council representative. I ask once again for your support so I can continue to fight for what matters most to you.”
Vice Mayor Carlyn Obringer is proud to announce the endorsement of the East Bay Times.
October 17, 2024
“In District 2, voters should stick with incumbent Carlyn Obringer,” the paper said, instead of an “unprepared” opponent who “makes sweeping, often inaccurate, statements.”
The paper hailed Carlyn’s steady leadership: “Concord has generally been a well-run city, with a tradition of solid long-range financial planning,” and “Obringer is well-versed about city finances.”
On the future of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, the paper praised Carlyn’s “wise and significant votes” “in 2021 against the selection of the Seeno consortium as the second master developer and in 2023 to seek a new developer when the consortium tried to renegotiate its original deal.” “The project is finally moving forward without major controversy,” the paper noted.
Councilmember Carlyn Obringer comments prior to the vote on Concord First Partners on 01/28/23. The proposal to extend the term sheet was voted down 3-2 with Councilmember Obringer voting it down.
I had such fun joining @Friends of Concord Creeks at their inaugural weeding party at the Pollinator Garden located behind Pixie Playland at Willow Pass Park! There are plans to hold these weeding events monthly to keep the garden in good shape. Learn more, here: https://www.wcwatershed.org/friends-of-concord-creeks.html
I was proud to turn over the gavel to our #MayorForTheDay Victoria from @St. Francis of Assisi School (Concord, CA)! Mayor Victoria got to experience all the responsibilities that make being the Mayor so fun, from ribbon cuttings to signing proclamations to meeting our new K-9, Jax, to making sure our city delivers top-notch services to our residents. Thank you to Victoria and her parents for spending the day with me!
Thank you to all who came out to join me for "Beer with the Mayor" at @Concord Tap House! I enjoyed connecting with my fellow Concordians on a range of topics, including, but not limited to: the Affirming Fair Housing process, roadwork planned for Clayton Road, and Concord's Rapid Rehousing program. I look forward to the next "Beer with the Mayor" at Epidemic Ales in June! Stay tuned for more details!
It was my honor to participate in the grand Kumbabishekam celebrations of the beautiful new Shiva Murugan Temple, Concord and present a proclamation honoring this special occasion! I was serving on the Planning Commission when the temple plans were approved and am thrilled to see this "Wonder of the East Bay," come to life in our community after nearly a decade of incredibly hard work and dedication on the part of many!
