“Our community needs a new perspective, a positive voice!” Millie Drum
“I believe Kris has an excellent understanding of her role as a Councilperson, and her broad range of community experiences will be a valuable asset.” Bob Lata, Retired Community Development Director
“There is no one better qualified than Kris Beal to be a city council person running in this election. Her understanding of what families need and her expertise in water issues are currently missing on the council.” Dee Lacey, Rancher, Community Leader
“I worked on multiple City Council campaigns for Steve Martin in the past because I believed there was no one in our community who cared more for Paso Robles than him of which he demonstrated time and again. I know that Kris has that same kind of devotion to our town and has the experience to do the right thing.” Steve Baker
“Kris Beal is committed to building a Paso Robles where families and young people can thrive. I've watched her serve on committees, engage with families, and develop policy priorities based on her neighbors' needs. She is a strong advocate for families and my choice for city council.” Sara Lopus, Neighbor, Friend
“Kris has great organization skills and a proven track record of collaboration to solve complex issues. She garners goodwill from folks of diverse interests and backgrounds and leads them toward wanting to work together to create a better community.” Steve Peck, Colleague
“Kris Beal will be an excellent City Council member. Kris brings honesty, integrity, and a willingness to learn and engage. Her 25 years of experience as an executive director has sharpened her skills in leadership, management and strategic planning, which provides her with all the qualifications needed for any city council member wishing to address the many challenges faced by a vibrant, growing city, such as Paso Robles. I encourage residents to learn about Kris and give her your vote.” DOUGLAS J. HEUMANN, Attorney

Conozco a Kris Beal desde 1996.
“Compartíamos una oficina en la universidad de Cal Poly. Desde que la conozco, me he dado cuenta que tiene una actitud y energía muy positivas y siempre tiene una visión muy clara de cómo solucionar problemas. Además tiene muy claro cómo ayudar a las personas para que mejoren diferentes facetas de su vida.
Ella sola logró empezar una organización de cero, donde los agricultores y productores de viñedos aprendían como implementar mejores prácticas de manejo. El enfoque era la protección del medio ambiente. Además otro objetivo muy importante de esta organización era la producción de sus cultivos en forma más eficiente.
Yo estoy 100% segura que Kris tiene las actitudes necesarias para mejorar las condiciones de vida de los residentes del North County.
Esta carta es para expresar mi apoyo incondicional. Espero con toda mi alba que llegue a ser miembro del city council.”
Monica Barricarte

“Kris has demonstrated a true commitment to the community with over 30 years of working with stakeholders on a variety of issues and helping to find solutions that resolve conflicts and bring benefit to all involved. She can do the same for our town as a council member. I highly support her and encourage you to do the same.” Craig Macmillan, Colleague
“I went to PRHS with Kris and I would have voted for her for city council back then! Her civic commitment and pride for the City of Paso Robles was that strong that long ago.
