That is pretty shocking that NO ONE is running again Mr. Combs?

A correction to Cameron Rebosio's otherwise fine article about Drew Combs: There are no term limits that apply to the Menlo Park City Council. Peter Ohtaki was not termed out, but ran for a third term in 2018 along with Kirsten Keith. Both lost. Mr. Ohtaki was defeated by our current Mayor, Betsy Nash. Other election attempts by Mr. Ohtaki also failed for the State Assembly and the US House.
2016 California Assembly LOST
2018 Menlo Park City Council LOST
2020 California Assembly LOST
2022 U.S. House of Representatives LOST

Glad to see Drew staying on board and Peter entering the race. Peter will bring additional balance to the Council and along with Drew (and Ray) help to get the Council back on track and listening to constituents and city employees rather driving personal agendas and pushing out experienced employees.

Drew,
I’m concerned that you make no mention of a commitment to address the overdevelopment crisis enveloping the the other part of district 2.

I don’t know what kind of alternate world Drew is living in. I live in District 2 and I’ve yet to see him advocate for any of our neighborhoods. When a neighbor invited a relative to park a couple of RVs on the streets 24x7 in violation of the parking ordinance Drew just shrugged. There was no support for us. When this 90 unit monster was proposed by RCSD Drew met with us and said (paraphrasing), “There’s nothing I can do.” Even after loud opposition by his constituents his only answer was “split it in two.”
I don’t know know what Drew Combs cares about but it’s NOT the homeowners of District 2. I would vote for a houseplant if it ran against him, it would do less damage.
