Mulcahy is leader that
S.J. City Council needs

I’ve known Michael Mulcahy for over 40 years. He’ll be an outstanding San Jose City Council member for District 6.

Michael and his family have consistently shown a deep and genuine commitment to our community through their support of our youth, the arts, our neighborhoods and through their own economic development.

Michael was born in District 6. He’s a third-generation San Josean.

Michael led the Children’s Musical Theater San Jose — a nationally acclaimed organization benefitting our city’s youth and families. Michael led as the head of the Willow Glen Business Association, helping to create one of the most vibrant neighborhood business districts in our region.

Michael led as a founder of the Monterey Corridor Business Association. Michael led as founder of Team San Jose, an innovative partnership of business, arts, government and labor generating tourism and jobs for San Jose.

He’ll now lead for safer, cleaner neighborhoods, streets, parks and creeks while leading on vital economic development.

Principled Liccardo is
best pick for Congress

I’m a strong conservative who worked for Sam Liccardo during his tenure as mayor of San José. Here’s why you should vote for him.

I was a policy analyst in his office — my first job outside of college — for nearly two years. I expected Sam, as I would any elected leader, to have narratives about how things work and why he was the right man for the hour. I was proven wrong. It became clear that Sam established a team committed to ideas, not hierarchy. He always sought the perspective of everyone on our team with curiosity and sincerity. In my work with him, he wanted to know what other cities, states and countries were doing; he was always ready to hear any idea from any side of the aisle. He chased verifiable data, evidence-based practices and commonsense principles.

He’s hardly a politician — he’s a principled and discerning problem solver.

Low will be effective
leader in Congress

As a former Assembly member from San Jose, I know what it takes to be an effective leader, and that’s why I’m proud to support Evan Low for Congress.

Evan has a proven track record of bringing people together to find solutions. Whether it’s working with small business owners or advocating for families, he focuses on collaboration, not division. In the Assembly, he’s shown his commitment to making positive change by partnering across party lines and building successful coalitions.

Evan’s campaign is people-powered. Evan is focused on listening to everyday people and tackling our challenges.

Evan Low is clearly the right choice for strong, thoughtful leadership in Congress.
