"Ginny is passionately committed to promoting Palm Springs as a world class resort and as a viable year round city in which its residents thrive. She is capable of delivering on her promises, as we've already seen, and has earned the trust of everyone for whom inclusive and representative government is important. The candidate who gets my vote is someone who does not stand on a single issue, but rather, is focused on the big picture and whose experience includes a solid background in business and commerce. The candidate I'm voting for does not have a political agenda, but rather views public office as the fulfillment of a personal obligation to serve the community and help secure its future. The candidate I'm voting for is Ginny Foat."
HARRIET BARON, Development Manager

She reaches out and listens to the residents of Palm Springs. She searches for knowledge and answers to a myriad of issues that come before the City Council. She truly strives to represent the best interests of her citizens. "

"Ginny represents all that is good in politics. She isn't afraid to take an unpopular position when it's the right thing to do. She's intelligent, decisive, innovative, and dependable. Throughout her life she has struggled for justice, for those less fortunate. I am unconditionally committed to Ginny's election to the City Council. Vote Foat."

"Councilwoman Ginny Foat is a true leader we can all be proud of. She is solution oriented, and has not lost sight of her responsibility as a public servant. She has paid out of her own pocket to do an important survey of our Downtown Merchants and she did so again to bring the widely praised "Eyes Wide Open" installation to Palm Springs so we could all experience it first hand. How many Councilmembers have done that before? None. She is a precious Representative for the people unlike any we have seen before. We must re-elect her to the Council in November to send a clear message that this is the kind of leadership Palm Springs wants, and needs."
TONY CANTALINI

"Ginny Foat really listens. She is truly interested in learning about situations in our city, and is willing to take action. When 104 downtown merchants signed a petition to express their frustration with the Downtown Development Office and the Main Street Merchants Organization, Ginny knew she needed to find out what was going on. At her own expense, she initiated a survey to learn what downtown merchants had to say and then provided real and tough feedback to the downtown community. By providing this independent communication vehicle, some barriers were broken down and some important changes instituted. Now that's the kind of council people we need! Keep Ginny working for all of us. Vote Foat November 8."
ROBIN ROSENBERG, Palm Springs Business Woman

"Ginny Foat brings to City Council a proven track record as a champion of human rights. From serving as Co-Chair of the Desert Pride Center, to being a founder and Executive Director of Legal Advocates for Women, to serving as Executive Director of Caring for Babies with AIDS, Ginny clearly cares about people. She definitely has my vote!"

"Leadership is defined as a process by which a person influences others to accomplish a mission, task, or objective. Ginny Foat, through her actions, has demonstrated time and again that she is an exceptional leader. She has shared her dynamic vision of what Palm Springs could be and has motivated its citizens to work with her to make it happen. She has brought people together to form a positive relationship between herself and the citizens of Palm Springs. She has become "the voice of the people" for this city. We need to keep that "voice" on the city council. VOTE FOAT!"

"I first met Ginny when she was about to make her first run for City Council. I was immediately impressed with her candor and obvious passion for wanting to make a difference in Palm Springs. Ginny has been dedicated to keeping all of her campaign promises and has steadfastly continued to work for the people of Palm Springs above all other interests. She took a sincere interest in making the Office of Neighborhood Involvement possible and having a City Ordinance to recognize Neighborhood Organization realizing that the power of the people rests in the neighborhoods. Palm Springs owes a great debt to this honest, hardworking City Council Member. We need her now more than ever."
JOHN HANSEN, Chair, Warm Sands Neighborhood Organization

"In all my many years, I have encountered many disappointments with so-called politicians, but not with Ginny Foat. I have watched her boundless energy accomplish the impossible. She has continued to interface with the Community, keeping in mind that her committment to work for the community overshadows everything else. Ginny Foat is never too busy to meet with anyone in the community who needs to talk to her. She accesses other City government officials when she needs help for the citizens of Palm Springs and never loses her resolve to honor her committments to the people. Whether she stands alone or together with other City Council Members, you know that Ginny is standing for the community and what is right."
BILL BURGESS, Business Owner

"I believe in Ginny Foat because she has been the lone voice of reason on the Palm Springs City Council; a loud voice when the going is good and an even louder voice when the going gets tougher. She speaks for the greater good as opposed to the demands of invisible, special interests. She is for the people and the vibrancy of this City and understands the key issues that face our area in the future." B. GONZALES

"Ginny Foat is courage personified. Against all odds she has played a role on the Palm Spring's City Council as the peoples' advocate. When others on the City Council gave in to the dictates of the 'good ole boy' network and took the path of least resistance she was often a lone voice for sensible growth and preserving the values and history of our beautiful City!
She has paid the price for her dedication and honesty and it's time for all of us who admire her tenacity, her wit and good common sense to show our support at this crucial time. I am proud to have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her in the trenches and I'm proud to consider her a true friend. Our vote is a precious commodity, let's spend it wisely in November and remember what Ginny has fought hard to protect: Integrity is alive and well in Palm Springs! "
