About those signs…
Why grassroots hand-painted signs? It’s about honoring my core value of care for the environment. All of my sign material came from previous campaigns, like Measure M and the Carl Tennenbaum for sheriff campaigns, whose signs were saved and repurposed. My signs were painted by volunteers and much of the paint used was recycled paint that is available for free from the Household Hazardous Waste Reuse Locker at the Mecham Road landfill.
We will collect the signs after the election and use them again if possible. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
