He knows nothing about business, and has handled housing issues poorly.

I hope the former Hon. Nora Campos runs. We, on the East Side, have missed her guidance tremendously!

That’s the best laugh I had all day, thanks!

They would drive this City further into the ground, and are frankly the opposite of what the residents need in leaders.

Raul has been, in my view, a very poor representative of District 3, where I live. And, Cindy has been a life-long politician – from the Council in San Jose to a County Supervisor – and ALL major issues facing the City and County have just gotten worse over time.

We need a Strong Mayor system, and a new leadership, desperately, in this City.

Let’s look back at all the accomplishments during Sam’s tenure.

1) We lost claim to being one of the safest big cities in America.

2) Booming homelessness with piles of trash everywhere, people screaming and wandering aimlessly in the streets. Fires burning along all the creeks and rivers daily creating scenes eerily similar to scenes from the movie “Escape from New York”.
Sam’s solutions: #1 Camping trailers parked at Happy Hollow (the amusement park for our young children). That flopped out after 30 days when the city realized it takes hookups to make all the goodies inside the trailer operate. #2 Spend $28,000,000 to build 40 sheds to keep the homeless next to a creek that flooded not so long ago.

3) Exploding crime rates. When’s the last time you or someone you know had their car window busted out and things just taken. When it happened, what sort of response were you given by the police?

4) Graffiti, graffiti everywhere.

5) A city budget teetering on bankruptcy only temporarily propped up by printed money from the federal government.

We could go on and on but what’s the point really. Lame duck is actually being very polite by the author. Sam’s been very lucky though. He’s been paid handsomely for 16 years for what he’s accomplished. Congrats Sam.

She just raises taxes and hurts our economy in San Jose more. Pay attention this woman is not for our city but her own political platform.

This catch and release of felons isn’t working and we deserve safer streets in San Jose to justify the sky high cost of living. I also hope the next mayor is Pro Union and creates an environment for well paying Union jobs on the Bay Area to help our families have hope amid a rising cost of living

Sharpen your elbows, aspirants.

1) Repealing Costa Hawkins and Ellis Act (not sure how he can make it happen, but signaling will be enough) complete his trilogy of the repudiation of property rights

2) Cancelling Rent

3) Forced relocation of whiteness out of affluent areas

4) Replacement of all small business with Google and other TOD boutique shops

5) Defunding of Police and redirection of surplus funds to Critical Race Theory based Ethnics Studies along with cancelling racist science and math graduation requirements.

6) City Corporate Tax
