Sonoma County Conservation Action proudly endorses Brian Barnacle, Frank Quint, and Blake Hooper in the November 2024 Petaluma City Council election. Each candidate reflects the values of sustainable growth, social equity, and thoughtful governance, making them strong advocates for the future of Petaluma.

Brian Barnacle, the District 6 incumbent, has demonstrated leadership since 2021 through his work on sustainability, housing, and community safety. A fourth-generation Petaluman, he has authored progressive policies like the Safe Streets initiative, secured funding for affordable housing, and banned new gas stations as part of his environmental agenda. His vision is centered on ensuring growth is both inclusive and environmentally conscious.

Frank Quint, running for District 4, brings a fresh perspective rooted in his two decades of leadership experience in logistics and transportation. His focus on improving infrastructure reflects a commitment to making Petaluma more livable for families. He aims to enhance public spaces, repair roads and sidewalks, and reimagine the fairgrounds as a community hub. Drawing on his military background and local involvement in youth sports, he promotes practical solutions.

Blake Hooper, a lifelong resident and candidate for District 5, offers thoughtful, collaborative leadership grounded in public service. His experience as a Planning Commissioner, legislative consultant, and former congressional staffer has shaped his focus on climate adaptation, fire preparedness, and affordable housing. Hooper’s campaign reflects his belief in listening to the community and building a sustainable future for generations to come.

These candidates offer distinct yet complementary visions for Petaluma. Together, their leadership promises to strengthen the city through thoughtful, forward-thinking policies that align with our mission to foster sustainability and equity. We encourage voters to support them this November.
