During Carole's tenure as Chair of BART's Police Review Committee, I have enjoyed working with her on landmark legislation that will insure community input, transparency and public accountability for BART services.  Her record of leadership and accomplishments are exactly what BART needs at this time, and I wholeheartedly support her re-election."

Carole has been an exemplary and highly productive and effective BART Director and Public Advocate. She deserves to be returned to the BART Board in November.”
