"Fortune is the only District 1 candidate that opposed Measure H/DISC. She understands that peripheral development is actually a drain on the finances of our city, not a sustainable, smart economic development strategy. Fortune, as the manager of Purple Tree Cafe, is also keenly aware of the needs of small businesses. Fortune will apply cost-benefit analysis and smart, strategic planning acumen to put us on stronger financial footing."

“Kelsey Fortune is the only District 1 city council candidate that opposed the DISC project/Measure H, defeated by nearly a 2-1 citizen vote, and she did so for all the right reasons.

DISC was based on a model of economic development that drains resources out of city centers and impoverishes - not enriches - city coffers.”

A major contribution to global warming comes from our car traffic, which would have been made a lot worse by the approval of DISC, which several candidates now running for City Council approved. Davis really ne...
