"As an owner of a restaurant and other businesses for the past 44 years in HMB, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsive City government and elected officials that listen. Mayor Debbie Ruddock has been that person for me over the years. I wholeheartedly support her re-election in District 4 where I live and work."

In His Own Words

A longtime resident's perspective

"Having attended many City Council meetings over the years, I have seen the dedication by all council members that is required to serve our community. The role demands long hours of reviewing various materials to prepare for evaluating unique projects and environmental planning our coastal town faces. Because of this, Debbie Ruddock's current experience on the council is an invaluable asset for making sound decisions.

She is deeply invested in our future. With years of active service already, she possesses the deep understanding of local history needed to navigate neighborhood concerns and preserve our small-town character. She is highly approachable, genuinely cares about our residents, and is dedicated to keeping our community a beautiful place to live.

I fully support Debbie Ruddock in her re-election campaign so she can continue her great work for our beautiful city.

My name is Greg Jamison, and I have been a proud resident of Half Moon Bay since 1985."
