Jared Huffman, U.S. Congressman Serving California's 2nd District*

He’s a bridge builder and works incredibly hard and always delivers for the people of Fairfax. I’m proud to endorse Chance for his re-election to the Town Council.”
Mike McGuire, California’s State Senate President*
“Chance is a uniquely talented listener and collaborator. He brings intellect and heart to the decision-making table, and serves with agility, driving policy from origin to implementation. Fairfax is lucky to have a visionary who knows how to get things done!”
Renée Goddard, Former Fairfax Mayor*
“Chance is a tireless leader who cares deeply about community. As an attentive communicator and team player, Chance possesses a keen ability to unravel complex issues. I am grateful for his leadership on the acquisition of the Wall Property, raising the Fairfax Bolinas Road as a broader regional issue that needs funding, and the multitude of ways he has shown up to protect vulnerable community members.”
Stephanie Hellman, Fairfax Councilmember and Former Mayor*

“In making endorsements, the Marin Democratic Party (DCCM) selects candidates who speak to our values and address critical issues of our time, such as the housing crisis and climate change. Chance Cutrano has earned our endorsement for re-election with his thoughtful and comprehensive approach to these, and other, vital community concerns.”
Pat Johnstone, Chair of the Marin Democratic Party*
“I have had the opportunity to work with Chance on several important items over the last couple of years. We comprised the two-Councilmember subcommittee(s) to acquire the Wall Property for open space, to develop our approved Housing Element, and make amendments to our renter protections that will be more helpful for our Mom & Pop landlords. We have worked extraordinarily well together on all. We collaborate well even if we don’t always agree – we both seek reasonable solutions to knotty issues. Chance is smart and hard-working, I sincerely appreciate our partnership."
Barbara Coler, Mayor of Fairfax*
“As an 18-year-old on the Fairfax Open Space Committee, I'm endorsing Chance Cutrano for Town Council because we need young voices like his shaping our Town's future. Chance has consistently supported youth involvement in local government, encouraging people like me to participate in public service, and his energy and dedication to empowering young voices are exactly what Fairfax needs.”
Teddy Catrini, Fairfax Open Space Committee Member*
