It’s a cat-spiracy!

It’s a cat-spiracy, I tell you! But in all seriousness, don’t let the “fat cats” who really control San Mateo tell you how to vote. On November 7th, vote for independent and compassionate candidates who place the public good before private gain. Vote for a San Mateo for all and not just a few. Vote for Charlie Drechsler, Chelsea Bonini, and Rick Bonilla.

Latino renter advocates go door-to-door with voter advice     

With less than three weeks to the November election, a team of Latino renter advocates took to the streets in San Mateo to encourage renters to vote.  They also offered recommendations about which candidates to vote for.

“There are seven people competing for three seats on the San Mateo City Council”, says Imelda Navarro, who was a member of the Latino team.  “Some of the candidates have proven to be much more sympathetic to renters than the others, and we wanted renters to know who they are.” 

The Best San Mateo Has to Offer: Noelia Corzo for San Mateo-Foster City School Board

Noelia’s roots, both with San Mateo and One San Mateo, run deep. She was born and raised in San Mateo. Likewise, she was a charter member of One San Mateo. Meaning that in both cases she has been with us since the beginning. 

From a family of Guatemalan immigrants, Noelia has long recognized the importance of and played a part in working for a San Mateo that has a place for all people. She has put in innumerable hours working for her community, engaging with some of the central issues of our time: housing, immigration, education.
