This evening, I had the pleasure of being the MC at ’s at the request of my friend who also happens to be their mayor, Emily Ann Ramos.

Emily and I have both been passionate advocates in the fight for housing affordability. I first met her back in 2023, when she had recently been appointed to fill a vacant seat on the City Council in Mountain View, and I had been appointed to a vacancy on the San José Planning Commission.

That experience was my first opportunity to witness her tenacity, integrity, and dedication first hand. And while we now live in and serve different cities, we know that many of the toughest challenges facing our cities, things like housing affordability, homelessness, and investment in public transit and infrastructure, are fundamentally regional problems. As all of us in elected office in the Bay Area work together to tackle these challenges, I can say with confidence that I couldn’t ask for a better partner in this work than Mayor Ramos.

Happy Arbor Day! 🌳

I got to plant my Mayor tree. It's a coastal live oak in front of the library. Any suggestions for the nickname of my new tree?

Had a busy month with throwing the first pitch for little league and girl's softball, attending Alex Lee's Lunar New Year Fundraiser, and providing the welcoming remarks for Congressman Liccardo's town hall.

The City of Mountain View will have its next council meeting tonight, February 24, 2026. It begins at 5:15pm with a closed session on real estate decisions.

We will then have a proclamation recognizing American Heart Month and the winners of the Santa Clara County Synopsys Championship Science Fair before going to the consent calendar.
