“I have known Renee for over three years, and honestly, I’d vote for her for any office she chooses. She brings extraordinary intelligence, compassion and critical thinking to any task she takes on. She does not go along to get along…she leads. She reminds me a lot of those very capable senior officers I worked with during my Naval Academy and submarine days back in the ‘60s and ‘70s…no ego, just collaborating to get the job done and done right.”

Chair, City of Florence Planning Commission
“Florence needs thoughtful, compassionate, and open‑minded leadership, and that’s why I strongly support Renee Lo Pilato for City Council. On the Planning Commission, Renee has shown herself to be a diligent, informed, and principled advocate for both environmental protection and responsible economic growth.
She does the hard work—carefully reviewing complex reports, asking tough questions, and ensuring that projects benefit residents while respecting the natural beauty that defines Florence. Her professional background as a college administrator and dean of admissions reflects strong leadership, fairness, and sound judgment.
Renee collaborates well, listens respectfully, and consistently makes balanced, thoughtful decisions. As chair of the Planning Commission, I’ve seen firsthand her commitment to our community and her ability to weigh the needs of residents, the city, and the development community with integrity.
Renee Lo Pilato would be a tremendous asset to the Florence City Council. I urge you to vote for Renee.”
