"Novato is faced with tough choices. Madeline Kellner has the wisdom to make the right choices.

"She understands what our City needs. She knows only a balanced approach will create a healthy Novato.

"I urge you to join me in voting for Madeline Kellner for Novato City Council."

Supervisor Judy Arnold

"I have had the pleasure to working closely with Madeline Kellner when she ran the Health Services for the County of Marin. I know she has the smarts and the experience to make a real difference for Novato. She'll bring much needed leadership to protecting the environment, planning for a healthier downtown and improving the lives of our seniors and young people."

Supervisor Steve Kinsey

"Safety and quality of life desired by the citizens of Novato are dependent on a financially healthy city and sound money management.  Madeline Kellner has civic experience, business sense and a fierce dedication to our community: top credentials for Novato City Council."

Jim Henderson
Former Novato Mayor
and City Council Member

"Madeline has the experience and background needed to serve us well on the Novato City Council.  She understands the key issues facing the city, including land use policy and city finances – and she would bring the leadership needed to move the city in the right direction."

Dietrich Stroeh
Long Time Community Leader
and Business Owner

"Madeline is an asset to our community.  I have worked with her at Planning Commission meetings and have found her fair, precise, analytical as well as personable.  She has also been active locally here in San Marin with the schools and in the community.  She would be a great addition to the Novato City Council."

Alice Demushkin Dow
San Marin Resident

"I am supporting Madeline Kellner because the Novato City Council needs her skills and experience in helping people work together to solve problems.

"As a member of the Novato Planning Commission, Madeline understands that community support for a project is only achieved through dialogue between the project applicant and the neighbors who will be impacted. During the Bahia Wetlands Project application process by the Marin Audubon Society, Madeline urged the Marin Audubon Society to meet and hear the concerns of the Bahia residents. Madeline provided leadership in crafting a final version of the Bahia Wetlands Project that eliminated major objections of neighbors, while maintaining the primary project goal of creating additional habitat in Bahia for the endangered California Clapper Rail."
