"Fortune is the only District 1 candidate that opposed Measure H/DISC. She understands that peripheral development is actually a drain on the finances of our city, not a sustainable, smart economic development strategy. Fortune, as the manager of Purple Tree Cafe, is also keenly aware of the needs of small businesses. Fortune will apply cost-benefit analysis and smart, strategic planning acumen to put us on stronger financial footing."

“Kelsey Fortune is the only District 1 city council candidate that opposed the DISC project/Measure H, defeated by nearly a 2-1 citizen vote, and she did so for all the right reasons. The DISC project was not a forward looking, future-proof development. Some have argued that it would have rescued Davis from the city’s financial troubles by bringing in new taxes. Davis’s fiscal problems have grown over the years by a Ponzi scheme approach to the finances, with new projects always promising to pay for the unanticipated expenses of previous ones. DISC was based on a model of economic development that drains resources out of city centers and impoverishes - not enriches - city coffers.”

If you are concerned about the planet’s climate crisis, please vote for Kelsey Fortune. A major contribution to global warming comes from our car traffic, which would have been made a lot worse by the approval of DISC, which several candidates now running for City Council approved. Davis really ne...

It is nice to see No on H signs popping up around town. Kelsey is the only candidate in District 1 who opposed measure H. This is not a one issue, issue. measure H shows how a councilmember will way things like affordable housing, the environment and traffic as a package. Measure H fell short on all of these.

The Yes campaign chose a June election and then dumped more than $700,000 into promotion and getting out the vote, only to complain that the low turnout was the cause of Measure H’s defeat. But there was no low turnout. They have been told “no” twice. Will they listen?
