Carlyn Obringer, Concord City Council

“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.

Concord Neighbors: Like you, I am deeply saddened by the tragic wildfires impacting the lives of our Los Angeles neighbors, and I want to express my sincere condolences to everyone who has been affected by these horrific recent events.

Several of you have asked me how to stay informed about local emergencies. Please register for the Contra Costa County Community Warning System, which alerts residents and businesses within the county that are impacted by or are in danger of being impacted by an emergency: https://cwsalerts.com/

The automated phone, text, and email messages sent through this system will include basic information about the incident and what specific protective actions (shelter in place, lockdown, evacuate, avoid the area, etc.) are necessary to protect life and health. You can sign up online here: https://alerts5.athoc.com/SelfService/CCCCWS/Register

In addition, the Concord Police Department uses social media platforms Facebook and Instagram to communicate emergencies, including information about missing people. Please be sure to follow their pages:

To understand your evacuation zone, please utilize Zonehaven, a platform that allows residents to view real-time evacuation information, including evacuation routes, shelters, and resource centers in their immediate area: https://protect.genasys.com/search
The map is updated in real time, so residents can check regularly for zone status information. Knowing what to do before, during, and after an emergency evacuation is critical to saving lives, and understanding your emergency zone is a valuable tool for emergency preparedness.

Thank you to all who joined me for my inaugural "Coffee with the Mayor" event at The Kreamery Shoppe (5100 Clayton Road, Suite A18). And, thank you to co-owners Amparo and Michele for welcoming the community to their welcoming space, full of sweet treats! I enjoyed meeting new constituents and connecting with old friends while covering a variety of issues. I look forward to the next "Coffee with the Mayor," tentatively scheduled for February 8th.
