]]> Comment on OOTI – Alameda Candidates that support the LGBT community by Mark Chekal-Bain http://gayalameda.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/out-on-the-island-alameda-candidates-that-support-the-lgbt-community/#comment-5 Mark Chekal-Bain Fri, 03 Nov 2006 06:36:00 +0000 http://gayalameda.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/out-on-the-island-alameda-candidates-that-support-the-lgbt-community/#comment-5 The East Bay GLBT Democratic Club strongly endorses Elsa Ortiz for the AC Transit Director position. Elsa has a long history of supporting the GLBT community as senior staff to both the CA Attorney General (Bill Lockyer) and the President of the State Senate (Don Perata). As a former key advisor to Lockyer, Elsa consistently outreached to the GLBT community and made sure he understood and supported our agenda. She also hired gay staff while district director for Lockyer when he was in the legislature. In addition to her support for the community, Ms. Ortiz is clearly the more qualified candidate... a candidate who utilizes public transit on a daily basis.... a candidate who will bring the dollars to Alameda County that we so desperately need to support our public transit system. Elsa's opponent is a nice guy, but his qualifications just don't measure up to Elsa Ortiz's. I urge all members of the GLBT community in Alameda to join the East Bay GLBT club and vote for Elsa Ortiz to join the AC Transit Board of Directors.
