Ashbaugh Pedaling to get out the Vote
Updating a political tradition for San Luis Obispo, City Council candidate John Ashbaugh is following in the "footsteps" of the late City Councilman Bill Roalman, who "walked" the precincts of the city on a bicycle during each of his election campaigns. Ashbaugh, a strong bicycle advocate, can be seen around San Luis Obispo handing out campaign materials and talking with constituents.
“Today more than ever, we need to find creative ways of conserving fuel and maximizing our energy resources,” explains Ashbaugh. “I've always appreciated the bicycle as a means of transportation as well as a terrific form of exercise and recreation.”
Ashbaugh is an educator and currently serves as vice-chair of the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission. His message to voters is to maintain fiscal responsibility, carefully manage the city’s growth, and retain SLO as the “center of the Central Coast.” He is cycling several hours each day from one door to the next, listening to the concerns of the city’s voters. He is pedaling hard to get the vote out on November 4.
