Welcome to my website and thank you for visiting. Our campaign is about opening doors in Novato, and you’ve made the first step by visiting the online portal to my campaign.

I am running for City Council because Novato needs to open the doors of City Hall and let in some fresh air – and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

With your help, I can open doors to new ideas and open doors to a more cooperative spirit to solve our problems. I also pledge to create an open door policy at City Hall and be accessible to hear what is important to you.

After many promises over the years, the current city council has yet to free itself from the personal conflicts and jealousies that have infected it for so long. The Council needs to take back its oversight responsibilities and get things done.

Today, so much time is spent on endless studies and years of inaction – and Novato’s problems have only grown worse. Now with a budget crisis compounded by the national recession, things in Novato will only deteriorate further unless we change the way the city council is run.

As a small businesswoman and real estate broker, I don’t just sell houses, I sell Novato to my clients. I know our strengths and our weaknesses inside and out. If elected to Novato City Council, I will bring innovative thinking, a tireless track record and a will to achieve our goals.

Novato faces big, tough problems that will take strong leadership and a cooperative city council. I have the experience, the personality and the determination to make things happen.

To win, I am going to need help from friends like you. I hope you will volunteer to give my campaign a boost. Click here to see what you can do.

I will also need to raise the money I need to run a strong campaign. I hope you will dig deep for Novato’s future and make a contribution to my campaign. Every bit helps from $10 up to the maximum of $400. Click here to make a contribution to my campaign.

I look forward to working with you to make Novato a better place to live and work. I appreciate the opportunity to run for City Council and be part of making Novato the best it can be. Together, with your involvement, we will make a better Novato for all.

This website is an open door into my goals and ideas for bettering our community. Please take some time and look around.

Many thanks,

Denise Athas
