Doug deHaan
City of Alameda, Vice Mayor

Alameda voters have twice elected me to City Council. Additionally, I have chaired various key city committees for 20 years. The next four years are critical for Alameda with budget constraints and Alameda Point’s future. 

I have numerous accomplishments to be proud of, such as a balanced City budget with reserves, renovation of: Park and Webster Streets, Bridgeside, Towne Centre, Alameda Theater, and development of the Harbor Bay Business Park. I continue to strive for open and inclusive government.

Alameda is facing its own budget crisis with revenue decreases, while maintaining quality services: Fire, Police, Recreation and Parks, Library, Schools and Public Works. My challenge is to meet quality of life needs for present and future generations (fiscal and environmental sustainability). 

Alameda continues to be engaged in large development/redevelopment opportunities. Development must move forward with a focus on minimizing traffic impacts. As we continue to develop our city, I am proud to say that I have never, nor will I ever take campaign funds from developers. Follow the money! Keep an eye on where campaign funds come from.

I ask for your vote once again. Alameda deserves a leader with the experience and integrity required to offer every Alamedan quality of life as we build upon our future during abnormally turbulent times. I have earned your trust and proven that I want the very best for Alameda.
