Support Nancy Beninati for City Council
“I have known Nancy for more than a decade, and over the years I have had many opportunities to see firsthand her commitment to our community.
“Having served on the Piedmont Unified School Board for eight years, I understand the commitment that public service requires. I have seen that same commitment in Nancy. She brings decades of public and community service experience, a willingness to listen and learn, and a genuine commitment to Piedmont and its residents. I know she will bring those qualities to her work on the City Council.”

Why I am voting for Nancy Beninati
“Nancy brings the kind of experience and perspective that would strengthen our City Council. Her public service at the California Department of Justice, combined with her work as a UC Berkeley lecturer in law and public policy, Nancy understands government, policy, and the importance of thoughtful decision-making.
“Just as importantly, Nancy has been actively involved in the Piedmont community for decades. She has served on the Civil Service Commission, as President of the League of Women Voters of Piedmont, and currently as a Recreation Commissioner. She has also volunteered in our schools and youth sports as her high school boys have grown up in Piedmont.”

Vice-Mayor, City of Piedmont
In support of Beninati for City Council
“I worked for many years with Nancy at the California Department of Justice. Nancy dedicated over 25 years of her career to working at the DOJ and I saw firsthand how well she balanced multiple interests and priorities, while keeping her focus on improving the lives of California people.
“Nancy’s unwavering commitment to public service extends to our community. … As Nancy has already done for many years, she will bring thoughtful and principled leadership to the Council.”

In support of Beninati, Reichle, Ramsey
“Nancy and I worked closely together as volunteers with the League of Women Voters of Piedmont where she served as President. Her leadership, collaborative spirit, and support of our community are unwavering, not just with the League, but also through serving on multiple Piedmont Commissions. Her professional background as a supervising attorney at the California DOJ and lecturer at UC Berkeley make her exceedingly qualified and ready to work on the issues most important to Piedmont residents.”
