Citizens For Vallejo (CFV) is a Political Action Committee formed by Vallejo residents who want to ensure that 2011 candidates and incumbents demonstrate leadership qualities that positively advance the City of Vallejo.

CFV believes that Vallejo needs leaders who have viable economic development and financial plans for Vallejo, will move Vallejo forward, and have the skills to guide us there.

In order to identify the best leaders among 2011 candidates, CFV has developed a set of core values to use as a yardstick and measure the leadership qualities of this year's candidates. These values include leadership and vision, economic development, fiscal responsibility, public safety, transparency in government, education, civil rights and arts and culture. CFV believes that this is a fair and unbiased method that will reveal to the Vallejo community those candidates best suited to lead Vallejo in the city's most critical and fragile time of its history. If we are going to improve our quality of life in Vallejo we need smart, compassionate, and respectful leaders.
