<h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Twelve years ago, Steve and his wife Kristina searched up and down the Peninsula for a town that felt like home for their family. They found it in Los Gatos: strong schools, close families, and a community that welcomed them with open arms. They bought a home (a former farmhouse) and raised their two sons, Jacob and Lucas, here.</span><br></h4><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Since then, Steve's spent nearly a decade serving our town. He's been chair and vice chair of both the Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Committee. He's helped guide decisions on major housing and commercial projects and refined the codes, regulations, and standards that govern how Los Gatos grows and operates.</strong></span><strong><br></strong></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Steve's the son of Argentine immigrants who came to California with very little except a desire to improve their lot in life and to raise their family in a place where they could succeed. His dad was a machinist. His mom was a bookkeeper. Together, they worked hard, saved, and built a business. Steve started kindergarten speaking only Spanish, and he learned early what it means to work for your place in a community.</strong></span></p><p><strong><br></strong><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">He attended California public schools, earned his law degree at Berkeley, and spent 15 years as a trial lawyer before dedicating his practice to representing nonprofits, specializing in real estate.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Steve has a deep passion for preserving our town's historic character while fostering smart, managed progress. He knows this town and knows how to manage change without losing what makes Los Gatos so special.</strong></span></p>

<p>"As soon as we arrived in Los Gatos, it felt like home. So over the last 12 years, as a parent and Planning Commissioner, I’ve worked to improve our town, so it works for everyone."</p><p>—Steve Raspe</p>

These are difficult issues, with no easy answers. But there are things we can do better. Steve will build on traffic calming with practical local solutions that make daily trips easier.</strong></span></p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>END the traffic</h2>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Everyone deserves to feel safe in our town.&nbsp; As a result of our location at the foot of the Santa Cruz mountains, we face ongoing concerns of fire safety.&nbsp; We must also continue to be mindful of crime which is an ever present threat to our community.&nbsp; Steve will keep fire and safety concerns front and center as the town weighs new development and growth.</strong></span><strong><br></strong></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Currently, Los Gatos is in discussions to combine our police department with Saratoga into a single unified force. A single department means a stronger presence across the whole region, with real savings from eliminating duplicate resources. Steve supports efforts which will make all Los Gatans feel safer and more secure.</strong></span></p>

On town council, he'll do the same: control the size and location of new projects so they don't overwhelm our roads, utilities, and infrastructure, preserve our town's historic character, and still make room for reasonable and affordable housing options. Giving more people a chance to live in Los Gatos is the right thing to do. We should provide opportunities for our police officers, firefighters, and teachers to live in the communities in which they serve.&nbsp;</strong></span></p>

<h2>Manage Housing Growth</h2>

Steve's running for Town Council to make Los Gatos work for our families. He'll be a steady voice on the issues that matter most: managing growth, public safety, and traffic.
