Corry for Emeryville City Council

Hi neighbor!

If you don’t yet know me, thanks for your attention. My name is Corry Frydlewicz, I’ve lived in Emeryville since 2021, and I love it here. I’m running for city council.

I respect your time, so I’ll get straight to the point.

My Priorities

Protecting Emeryville residents from those who’d harm, oppress, or exploit us — whether that’s crime, fascists like ICE, con artists, or giant corporations.
Building affordable housing, supporting our tenants, and getting people who want to own a home here access to resources they need.
Supporting small local businesses.
Continuing to build accessible infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists, elderly, and disabled residents.
Enabling productive and cooperative council proceedings so we can avoid giving excessive time and energy to drama and focus on getting things done.

About Corry

Today, U.S. politics are a nightmare I’ve been warning about for most of my life. I can no longer fight solely as a keyboard warrior and a single face in the crowds of protests our national press often ignores. My skills and experience can be more productive in official public service, if you’ll have me.

Donations

I won’t spam you every time you see me, begging for donations. You won’t see glossy plastic yard signs with my face on them all over your neighborhood. I will not advertise on television.

I’m a broke-but-blessed Emeryvillain (not a typo). I get by with mutual aid from my community. I want to fight for other broke folks who can’t afford to donate money they don’t have to try and get someone in public service to care about them and their issues.

I hope investing my time and skills in technology, management, leadership, communication, and compassion will be enough to earn your vote. Perhaps it’s naive to think I can compete with well-funded candidates with commercials, billboards, and fundraising drives by doing things like chatting with you at the grocery store, responding to your emails in a timely manner, and offering up my entire identity to anyone who cares to see me. But it’s the only way I feel I can represent you, and not give disproportionate attention to donors.
