Testimonials

"Leslie made our years as parents with two children in the WCCUSD school district so much easier.  She helped us navigate several difficult issues with her in-depth knowledge and step by step recommendations. Leslie is an invaluable problem solver and definitely knows how to get things done."  Deb Lane Goldstein

The last two years have been particularly difficult for communities and schools, and we need strong leaders with deep roots in our community and an ethical drive to make schools available for all children. Leslie's work to keep schools open and to hold a line regarding fiscal solvency are the exact reasons why I support her re-election campaign. -Tanya Baker

" I served as a Trustee on the Martinez School Board for 15 years
and as a Member of the Contra Costa Community College Board for 8 years.
I was Chair of the West Contra Costa Unified School District's Independent Redistricting  Commission.  I am a former teacher.  Through my work on the redistricting commission, I came into contact with many of Leslie's constituents, who voiced repeatedly that she was doing 
a great job with tremendously difficult work, and felt fortunate to have such a solid champion for all students on the board. As a seasoned trustee, I agree. "
-VIcky Gordon

"Parent of Mira Vista And ECHS student. Thank you for protecting our public schools!! " - Julie Salaman
 

"I have the highest regard for Leslie Reckler and support her as our community rep on the WCCUSD School Board District 5." - Buddy Akacic, East Bay Senior Stroll

"Leslie has watched over me and my family since I was born, and now I am a college freshman at the school of my choice.  Leslie works for ALL of the children. "
- Karla Zermeno

Leslie Reckler was the leader that we needed during the pandemic. Her clear-sighted, common-sense approaches to difficult issues allowed our schools to reopen safely for students and teachers. She is a trusted and proven leader, who won't give in to special interests like the charter school industry. We need Leslie for four more years! -Juliet Christian Smith
