Vote James Andrews for Corte Madera Council

James Andrews, a former member of the Corte Madera Town Council, is seeking reelection. We wholeheartedly endorse him based on his past efforts and look forward to his return.

Andrews has shown himself to be a committed learner. He works with residents and town departments to understand what the community is looking for and needs. He then helped apply financial “best practices” he learned as a seasoned financial and management executive. He is a long-term resident of Corte Madera. He served us well as mayor during his time on the Town Council from

2015 to 2020.

I have witnessed Andrews research, listen and analyze, then act and deliver on the needs of the community. He took a leadership position in promoting a community resilience program for our town by improving our disaster preparedness. The plan included neighborhood-driven chipper days, evacuation planning, mitigating roadway impediments, supporting community first-aid classes, equipping our community with caches of emergency supplies and building safety awareness. Andrews marshaled the foregoing by assuring funds are specifically earmarked to underwrite these important initiatives using sales tax revenues.

Andrews' stated belief is to improve our infrastructure to prepare for disasters — rather than react after the fact — in both wildland fire areas (wildfire risk) and low-lying flood prone and sea level rise (flooding and loss of infrastructure). Disasters in those areas could imperil our entire community.

We are safer due to Andrews' efforts and his continued commitment to neighborhood protection and community resilience.
