Castro Valley is entirely within the borders of district 10 of the California State Senate. Castro Valley Matters reached out to each California state senate candidate for the 2014 General Election, asking them:

Unincorporated communities don’t have a seat at the table in Sacramento, whereas cities and counties have organizations that advocate for their interests. As an unincorporated community, Castro Valley faces significant challenges in advocating for its interests and securing public investment in infrastructure and services.

In your blog post, Castro Valley Matters would like to know what you would do in Sacramento to advocate for Castro Valley. Please identify one or more specific issues affecting Castro Valley residents and how you will tackle them.

Below are the responses, in alphabetical order:

• Peter Kuo (R)
• Bob Wieckowski (D)

We have previously published statements from candidates for CVUSD Board of Education and CVSan Board of Directors. In the next week we will publish statements from candidates for California State Assembly and US Congress.

Castro Valley Matters does not endorse or oppose any candidate for public office.
