Natarajan, Earn BGG Endorsement for Fremont City
Council
City Council candidates Anu Natarajan have been
chosen by the Business for Good Government Committee
of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce (BGG) to represent
the business community on the Fremont City Council.
Natarajan, who has served as councilmember for
the past two years since being appointed to Mayor
Bob Wasserman’s vacated council seat, has
quickly become a prominent and well-respected
member of the City Council. She has combined the
experience and knowledge she gained while on the
Planning Commission with her work on numerous
issues with the business community. "I am
pleased to receive the endorsement of BGG. Our
views align well on the importance of a healthy
business environment,” said Natarajan. “Working
together, I am confident we will take Fremont's
economic growth to the next level." In particular,
Natarajan’s support for the Irvington Village
Phase II Project on the former Tri-City Sporting
Goods site and the Warm Springs BART Extension
demonstrate her alignment in thinking with that
of the Fremont Chamber.

said she decided to stand for re-election because

after Bob Wasserman was elected mayor, replacing
former Fremont mayor Gus Morrison.
"The general plan is the most critical thing
for a city to find what it wants to be,"
she said. "I want to provide a forum of discussion
for the public to determine what the city's direction
is, and the next four years will be critical to
define that direction."
"The city is 50, and it's at a crossroads,"
she is quoted as saying. "We're looking for
a new vision for the next 20 years."
With a population of over 200,000, Fremont is
the fourth most populous city in the Bay Area

Its cosmopolitan population includes Indians,
Chinese, Taiwanese, a large number of Afghans
who came during the Taliban reign in Afghanistan
and other Asian groups.Natarajan turned in her
