Biography

My name is Robert Conklin and I’ve lived in Petaluma my entire life. I grew up on the West Side and graduated from Petaluma High School.

As an adult, I moved to the East Side and became a homeowner.

I know I can represent all of Petaluma and help bridge our East/West divide.

My wife and I started our family during the Great Recession. We now have two children and commute to work each day.

If elected, I will be a powerful voice for Petaluma’s working families.

We need to ease traffic and improve Petaluma’s roads. The Rainier crosstown connector is long overdue, and I will work to make it a reality.

I believe in affordable housing and smart development that balances growth with the needs of those who already live in our great city. 

I also believe in greater transparency from our local government to engage all of Petaluma in the civic process.

I’m not a politician, I’m a Petaluman. No matter the issue, I believe we can overcome any challenge if we work together toward our common goals.

​I’m asking for your vote, and I thank you for your consideration.
