Shanelle Scales-Preston has a POOR RECORD as a Pittsburg City Councilwoman … and NOW she wants to be elected your next County Supervisor. Here’s why we think that’s a BAD IDEA 1. Councilwoman Shanelle Scales-Preston smiles for the camera but SITS IDLY BY while the direction of her own city is declining. Her lack of leadership is the reason why Pittsburg gets an “F” for its HIGH CRIME RATE.1 Shanelle’s city has 61% MORE VIOLENT CRIME than the national average.2 And one of the highest rates of STOLEN CARS in the entire country.3 2. YET, Councilwoman Shanelle Scales-Preston and her backers oppose increased penalties for: Serial smash and grab SHOPLIFTERS THIEVES who break into cars, homes and small businesses Fentanyl DRUG DEALERS …meaning lenient sentences for dangerous criminals who come back into our neighborhoods to commit more crimes.4 THAT’S WHY HER OWN CITY POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS DON’T SUPPORT HER ELECTION TO COUNTY SUPERVISOR AND ARE ENDORSINGHER OPPONENT, MIKE BARBANICA.5 BUT THAT’S NOT ALL… Imagine NOT having a MAJOR GROCERY STORE to shop at in your city6 and your elected leaders NOT DOING A THING to change that? Or having your local TARGET store close down and leave town because crime is just too rampant and out of control? 7 All taking place on Councilwoman Scales-Preston’s watch. While she watched and did virtually NOTHING. VOTE NO ON COUNCILWOMAN SHANELLE SCALES-PRESTON. Maybe it’s time for her to just do her job. Documentation: 1.
