"John Gurney has been a leader we can trust over the last 30 years - through his dozen-year tenure as Police Chief, and more recently, as a nonprofit Executive Director for several Sonoma Valley organizations. John will provide the same proven, dependable leadership on the Sonoma City Council.”
Congressman Mike Thompson
“John knows the community and cares for it. He would make a great city councilmember!”
Jack Ding, Mayor of Sonoma
“John Gurney has a strong grasp of the issues through his years of community engagement and work on the ground with fellow Sonomans. I have no doubt that John will provide the steady hand and leadership Sonoma needs now more than ever. I know he’ll be a fine addition to the City Council, and urge you to join me in supporting him this fall.”
Gary Edwards, Former Sonoma City Councilmember
“I met John when he began serving as Sonoma’s Police Chief in 1993. Throughout the course of his tenure as Chief and in the years since, John has always looked at ways to protect and improve the quality of life of Sonomans. He was an excellent Chief, and I’m confident he’ll be an exceptional Councilmember.”
Karen Collins, Longtime Sonoma Resident and former Sonoma Alcaldessa
“John has been both an incredible public servant and customer of mine for many years now. For as long as I’ve known John, he’s always been eager to serve and make a difference. His background: as Police Chief, a nonprofit ED and even in the private sector, has given him a well-rounded perspective on the needs of Sonomans.”
Dan Eraldi, 4th Generation Sonoman and 3rd Generation Business Owner on The Plaza
“John Gurney will make community safety a comprehensive priority, focusing not just on police and fire services, but also the need to rebuild and repair more of our buckled sidewalks, which present significant safety concerns in neighborhoods like ours. John has earned the support of neighbors like me who feel like our needs and voices are being heard.”
Joanne Green, Sonoma Resident

“John is a good listener, frequent patron of locally-owned businesses, and someone who asks not what you can do for him, but what he can do for you. His authentic, engaging leadership style are the key qualities we need more of on the Sonoma City Council.”
Sam Morphy, Sonoma Business Owner
