TRISTAN PIPER'S STATEMENT
For the past 31 years, we have lived in our home raising 3 children in District 2. Our children are now raising their children in their Concord homes in District 2. I want my grandchildren and children to inherit a solid city. I want Concord to continue to provide an environment that fosters economic opportunity for businesses small and large. I want Concord and it's citizens to have a safe city with a well-funded police force, and I want the citizens of Concord to have access to great educational choices and great schools. If elected, I would like to continue to advocate for all citizens of Concord to make our City advantageous and safe for all. Thank you for your vote and for supporting the City of Concord!
Sincerely,
Tristan Piper
Tristan Piper's Platform
I SUPPORT A WELL FUNDED CONCORD POLICE DEPARTMENT
- As city councilwoman, I pledge to support the City of Concord Police Department and the officers who risk their lives everyday. Our local police department ensures our safety in the community for our children, friends, and family. I strongly condemn any calls to defund our local law enforcement.

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
- As a city councilwoman, I pledge my support to businesses small and large. I will do everything I can to continue to make Concord a welcoming home for businesses of all sizes. We need to take a deeper dive into fees and taxes associated with establishing a business in Concord. This will ensure we are competitive within our market and surrounding cities.
- With Covid-19, our duty as council members should be to support our businesses. For example, restaurants should be given temporary occupancy permits to expand outdoor seating into the Public Right of Way. Let's get creative to support businesses and employees during this time with our community. Let's work together to make Concord the job capital of the East Bay!
EDUCATION
- I want a new High School and Library included in the Naval Weapons Development Plan for District 2.
- The City of Concord has made significant strides to develop our public schools. I will continue to support the importance that students and education come first. District 2 has some of the most under performing schools in all of Mt. Diablo Unified School District. I will strive to ensure funding is properly allocated to public schools in District 2 while working to open the door for charter and additional alternative schools to promote school choice. We will look at loosening the inter-district transfer requirements. This will give parents the power to improve their student's education. I will do everything in my power to develop the quality of education for the students of District 2.
- As a parent, I understand the concerns surrounding Covid-19 and the impact on the safety of our students and teachers. As the former President of The Board of Directors for The Family Stress Center (STAND), I recognize the importance of building relationships between teachers and students. We must keep everyone safe in the classroom and at home. Education is a key pillar in the success of our community.
