Strong cities need strong regional partnerships. I’m proud to announce that Alameda County Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas has endorsed our campaign. The City of Hayward and Alameda County have different responsibilities, but we serve the same families and neighborhoods. This is especially important when addressing homelessness. Cities are often on the front lines responding to the immediate impacts in our neighborhoods, while Alameda County plays a critical role in health care, behavioral health, supportive services, and securing and distributing resources that help people move from the streets into shelter and permanent housing. Supervisor Bas and I have worked together on coordinated efforts to secure funding and resources to better serve our unhoused neighbors. That City–County partnership is essential. No single city can solve homelessness alone, and our residents expect every level of local government to work together. Our partnership also extends to regional transportation and other issues that cross city boundaries and require collaboration throughout Alameda County. Thank you, Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas, for your partnership, your support, and your commitment to working with Hayward. I look forward to continuing our work together to bring resources home and deliver results for our residents.

Strong cities need strong regional partnerships. The City of Hayward and Alameda County have different responsibilities, but the people we serve are the same. Cities are on the front lines of neighborhoods, public safety, local infrastructure, housing, and economic development. Alameda County plays a critical role in our regional health care and behavioral health systems, homelessness services, social services, and major transportation investments. That’s why it is absolutely essential for Mayors and County Supervisors to have strong, high-functioning relationships that get things done for our communities. I’m proud to announce that Alameda County Supervisor Lena Tam has endorsed our campaign. I have known Supervisor Tam for more than 15 years, and over that time we have built a strong working relationship. We have worked together on regional transportation, coordinated services for our unhoused neighbors, and other issues that cross city and county lines. And when I have called, she has always answered. That kind of partnership matters. Hayward is stronger when City Hall and Alameda County are working together, sharing resources, solving problems, and delivering for our residents. Thank you, Supervisor Tam, for your friendship, partnership, and support. I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of Hayward and Alameda County.

Strong cities need strong partnerships and the relationship between a Mayor and County Supervisor is essential to delivering results for our community. I’m proud to have earned the support and endorsement of Alameda County Supervisor Elisa Márquez. Supervisor Márquez and I have a long-standing partnership built around getting things done for Hayward. Together, we worked to keep St. Rose Hospital open, secured County resources to reduce homelessness and expand supportive housing, and continued the important work of addressing historic injustices involving Alameda County, the City of Hayward, and the Russell City community. City and County government are deeply connected. When the Mayor and County Supervisor work together, we can bring more resources home, solve difficult problems, and make sure Hayward is front and center when major policy and funding decisions are made at the County. Thank you, Supervisor Márquez, for your partnership, your commitment to Hayward, and your endorsement. I look forward to continuing our work together on behalf of every Hayward neighborhood.
