"I strongly endorse Scott Alvord for re-election to the Roseville’s City Council.

During his first term, he has shown exceptional leadership. He has always been available to answer questions and if he does not know he finds out.

His creation of the Roseville Volunteer Force has been a godsend to people who did not have anyone to help them. It showed Roseville at its best with more than 1900 volunteers. The mask distribution to the citizens of Roseville was inspiring. He has shown true leadership. With all the uncertainty during this election, including the new voting of districts, we need experience in this election. Please vote for Scott Alvord for Roseville City Council District 5"

Exactly the kind of person you want representing you; He is community in action ...

"I serve on the Placer County Air Pollution Control District Board with Scott. I have found him to be thoughtful and thorough in his decision making, measured in his approach, honest and grounded, and very sharp-minded. Scott is a natural leader and truly desires to serve his community. He is exactly the kind of person you should want representing you on Council.

But that isn't why I am endorsing him. In the year and half I have known Scott, I have come to know this: he is an exceptional human being who is not only willing to but DOES go far out of his way to help, to serve, to identify community needs and then meet them, to fill the gaps that aren't being addressed. He sees people for their hearts, not their circumstances, and goes above and beyond in creative and organized ways to provide solutions. Scott doesn't just represent his community by his vote, he is community in action."

"I am supporting Scott Alvord for re-election to the Roseville City Council. I have been privileged to serve with Scott on the Placer County Economic Development Board where his leadership is greatly respected. Scott represents the very best qualities in a local elected government official. He is dedicated to the Roseville community and all of its members. Scott finds a reasoned balance between public health and services and economic sustainability. He is approachable, listening to all sides, considering a variety of opinions, and then making fair and balanced decisions. He is professional, respectful, and collaborative in his approach to public policy decisions. I look forward to continuing my work with Scott on our efforts to build stronger, healthier, resilient communities throughout Placer County."

Experienced, Devoted to understanding, Very approachable, Steps up and steps forward ...

"We are proud to endorse Scott for re-election to the Roseville City Council. Scott is an experienced community leader. He is devoted to understanding and doing what is in the very best interests for our City.

Scott is very approachable. He can be found 'out and about' and throughout the community focused upon learning of the needs of residents and businesses and to do all he can to cause whatever changes or delivery of services are needed. Essentially, Scott is a fellow who 'steps up and steps forward' to pro-actively represent the people and businesses of Roseville.

And, best yet, Scott and Karen have called Roseville their home for many years. They raised their family here and together they exemplify the finest in 'service to community!'"

Nonpartisan, Above and beyond, Fantastic listener, Promotes balanced discussions ...

"What I really like about Scott Alvord is that he is truly nonpartisan…he works for the greater good of Roseville! To say that Scott goes above and beyond is the understatement of the century as he spends hours upon hours promoting the virtues of the City of Roseville as a great place to live and do business! He is also a fantastic listener that is highly interested in hearing his constituents’ opinions on all things Roseville and does a great job of promoting balanced discussions! Honestly, Scott is a throwback to what community service used to be and should be today. I wholeheartedly support the re-election of Scott Alvord to the Roseville City Council!"

Servant leadership; Exactly what we need in our elected officials ...

"Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own." – Charles de Gaulle

"During the pandemic, I was proud of Scott Alvord’s forward thinking, servant leadership in bringing together the Roseville Volunteer Force – a group of community members looking out for their neighbors during a time of crisis. This simple act spoke of Scott’s true nature of service to others – which is exactly what we need in our elected officials and city council members."

Servant's heart, Communicates clearly, Natural leadership ...

"Scott approaches his position on City Council with a servant's heart. On duty or off, he works tirelessly to nurture a feeling of community in Roseville. He's done a great job of keeping the community informed about City news and issues. He communicates clearly, honestly and respectfully, even when the news isn't popular.

I've been especially impressed with his tireless community-building work since the COVID-19 crisis hit. Knowing how much people want and need to help in times of trouble, he started with a modest idea of recruiting a few donations and errand-runners to help at-risk residents. He's since built an enthusiastic army of volunteers. He gave out his phone number freely, spent nights building a database to keep track of everything, answered texts at all hours from people needing supplies, and even opened up his front porch to collect donations of hand sanitizer and wipes. I know this is something he would've done even if he weren't on Council because he loves to help and he loves to rally the community around a good cause. This is the kind of heart and natural leadership we need on City Council."

Worked hard to stay informed, Keeps constituents in the loop, Man of integrity ...

"I like Scott! Although I am not a resident of Roseville, my home and business are in South Placer County and I watch Roseville city events closely. The city of Roseville is a leader in the four-county area and the state. Scott has worked hard to stay informed of activities that impact the community, and more so, he's done an impressive job keeping his constituents in the loop as major decisions come before the city council. he's a man of integrity and a hard worker."

Involved; Respectful demeanor, very courteous, honest ...

"My wife and I have been Roseville residents since 1989. We have been blessed with two beautiful, opinionated, and highly intelligent daughters. We know Roseville and are totally 'all in' when it comes to the best interests of Roseville. When it comes to identifying and supporting candidates who are passionate and believe in government accountability and transparency, we throw our moral and financial support behind that candidate. That’s why my family and I are supporting Scott Alvord's continued service on the Roseville City Council.

I met Scott some six years ago. Ever since my conversation with Scott, I was confident that he would serve the citizens of Roseville in a manner that would make us all proud. Scott has not failed in that assessment! As recently as a couple of weeks ago, I picked up the phone, and Scott and I had "the talk!" Our conversation was about the recent protests and concerns about Black Lives. Scott listed intently as I laid out my concerns as an African American man. The mere fact that Scott took the time to listen and learn impressed me and my family even more of Scott's compassion and desire for that "beloved" community that we aspire to nurture here in Roseville and beyond.

As Scott has been involved in many community activities and has addressed many public grievances in the past as a citizen, business owner, and now, as a member of the Roseville City Council, many of us have watched Scott's respectful demeanor. He is very courteous, honest, and understands where his allegiances lie - with the citizens of Roseville! I am convinced that Scott is a public servant - in the finest traditions.

He actually LISTENS with concern and renders decisions based on logic and a full understanding of the issue(s). I am confident that Scott’s continued presence on the Roseville City Council will lend a sense of steadiness and will bode well for our community. Therefore, and on behalf of the Greene Family, I am proud to endorse and support Scott Alvord's Re-election to the Roseville City Council."

You could not ask for a better representative for the citizens of Roseville and Placer County."

"Scott Alvord is the most involved council person I have ever met and he is extremely active within our community. He is thoughtful, smart, kind, and fearlessly honest. He does not make promises that he cannot keep nor does he sugar coat when difficult issues arise. Even though we do not always agree, I respect his opinion and position as coming from a place of fairness and practicality. I am thankful that Scott is willing to step up and serve for not just our community, but for all of Roseville. I will be supporting and voting for Scott Alvord in 2020."

Informed, Involved, & Integrity; Approachable; A business mind salted with compassion ...

"The 3 "I"s - Informed, Involved, & Integrity. These "I"s describe Scott and how he has served his community for over the decades. Roseville has been fortunate to have him as a city councilman, but his impact on the region started long before, and I have known Scott in his capacity as a business owner, leader, and advisor for many years. I have seen Scott bring excellence in everything he does. He is approachable and concerned about not only his own constituents but also those when he sees an opportunity to help, as he did with me last year, unasked. I am a Scott Alvord fan and know that he has earned his continued service on the city council. Now more than ever, I can see that Roseville needs the guidance of a business mind salted with compassion."

True leader on the issue of homelessness ...

"This is my personal endorsement for Scott Alvord. Scott has been a true leader in the Roseville Community on the issue of homelessness. I have found him to be a responsive Councilmember that understands that the issue of homelessness cannot be solved by public safety approaches only, but by a comprehensive plan that incorporates mental health treatment, addiction services, economic support, and public safety measures in coordination with one another to meet the needs of the homeless in our community."

Barbara Johnson

Servant Leader, Communicating information, Created the Roseville Volunteer Force for those in need ...

"Scott demonstrates all the qualities of a Servant Leader. He spends countless hours serving the City of Roseville in multiple ways. Besides his thoughtful consideration of City Government issues, Scott is extremely great at communicating pertinent information to the citizens and supporting residents and local business owners. Scott's creation of the Roseville Community Volunteer Force has been a fantastic way to quickly mobilize needed help and resources for those in need."

Melinda Hawkes

President
Cherry Glen Neighborhood Association (RCONA)

Listens, Started the Roseville Volunteer Force, Approachable ...

"I am endorsing Scott Alvord for City Council for a variety of reasons. Scott is a key member of the RCONA Executive Board. As a member, he hears from the 15 active neighborhoods in Roseville on a monthly (if not more often) basis. They share their accomplishments and their needs, which is important to Scott. He listens to those reports and makes decisions for the city based on that information. Scott is a “people person.” He started the Roseville Volunteer Force, a big endeavor, which is instrumental in helping people in need during the COVID-19 crisis. He also holds regular “Coffee with a Council Member” discussions in order to share information and hear concerns from the residents. Scott is approachable and the type of person we want making decisions for the City of Roseville."

The real deal, true public servant; Keeps us informed; No question is too small or hard ...

"I have known Scott for many years as he is a former neighbor. Scott is the real deal – a true public servant and a born leader. He uses his education, talent, and resources to elevate others and the city we live in.

I don’t know where he gets the energy to coordinate the demands of the Roseville Volunteer Force, fulfill (and exceed) his duties as a councilman while keeping all of us informed of what is happening, keep his personal businesses running, and taking care to be with his family. No question is too small or hard for him to give his attention – I know, I’ve asked them all! He is the person I want leading my community during this trying time."

Jim Kidd

Former Vice President
Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (RCONA)

Hardest working councilmember I've known; Does his homework ...

"I am endorsing Scott Alvord for City Council. I've been vice president of the Roseville Coalition of Neighborhood Association (RCONA) for the past 12 years. I met Scott 7 years ago when he became President of Pleasant Grove Neighborhood Association, four years ago he joined me on the RCONA executive board.

Scott is a council member that listens and acts on the residents' concerns. As an executive of RCONA, he meets with the leaders of the 15 active neighborhood associations every month. He hears their concerns and accomplishments. At these monthly meetings, Scott educates the neighborhood leaders about city progress and events. This information is taken back to the neighborhoods.

Scott holds "Coffee with a Councilmember" regularly to get more feedback from the community. He is also on Nextdoor to explain city policies and inform residents of important information they're requesting. His Roseville Volunteers' program has helped our residents get through these medical hard times.

Scott is the hardest working council member I've known, and I know a lot of them. He comes to council meetings totally prepared. He does his homework.
I have dedicated the last 20 years with RCONA trying to make Roseville a better place for all neighbors. Scott is that type of person. This is the type of person you want on our city council. Please vote for Scott Alvord."

Dedicated public servant; The most active city council member I have seen; Unwavering support for businesses ...

"I am so proud and honored to endorse Scott Alvord’s re-election as Roseville’s city council member. A respected member of the Roseville community and a dedicated public servant Scott is the most active city council member I have seen in the last 20 years. He has shown his ability to listen to Roseville residents, work on their behalf, and think creatively about practical ways to make life in Roseville wonderful.

Over the past decade, I have been fortunate to get to know Scott both as an active member of the community and a friend. During his first term as a council member, Scott has consistently demonstrated his willingness to listen to others’ opinions and concerns and he sincerely works towards finding solutions that represent the best possible interests for all. His actions on the city council have demonstrated his commitment to preserving safe and vibrant neighborhoods, create a thriving downtown and unwavering support of our treasured local businesses.

Roseville, like most cities, will face numerous challenges over the next few years. We need the proven years of experience, dedication, knowledge, and civility that Scott has brought to the city council to meet those challenges. We are lucky to have an honorable person like Scott Alvord to give so much back to our community. Please join me in re-electing Scott Alvord to the Roseville City Council."

Scott is the real deal. What you see is what you get, and what you get is profound. Scott’s leadership abilities are known to many in the greater Sacramento area. He is a successful business advocate in Roseville, which he tirelessly promotes and supports. He is a devoted Christian leader, family man, award-winning entrepreneur of several small businesses, and heavily involved in charitable organizations throughout our community. I have always known Scott to be forthright, hard-working, and a man of principle that I would not hesitate for a second to recommend for re-election.

"Scott Alvord is someone who I eagerly endorse for a second term on the Roseville City Council. As a business colleague whom I've known for many, many years, I can attest to the fact that Scott CARES about Roseville. He and his wife Karen chose Roseville as their forever home many years ago, and Scott immediately started volunteering and working hard to make Roseville the best place to live and work (long before he ever decided to run for City Council). Scott is extremely knowledgeable about city and county operations, he fully educates himself on all city issues, he always welcomes community members to share their thoughts and concerns with him, and most of all he is fair and honest. Vote Scott!"
