"I have worked with Dave Potter for many years and I can't imagine a more qualified candidate to serve as Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Dave's experience, his commitment to public service, and his willingness to work collaboratively will be great assets to Carmel. As will Dave's love for Carmel's history, its natural beauty, and its residents. I am pleased to endorse Dave Potter for Carmel Mayor."

"The qualities that I'm looking for in a Mayor are honesty, integrity, dignity, intelligence and kindness, and Dave Potter has all of these - and even more, he has local government experience.
His hands on experience on all of the issues of the past and the ones that face us in the future make him uniquely qualified to be our Mayor in Carmel-by-the-Sea."
Jill Sheffield
