I’m supporting Anky for Los Altos City Council because she brings the combination our city needs: deep community roots, relevant professional experience, and the ability to bring people together.

Her broad support reinforces my confidence in her. Her endorsers include the Democratic Party, Planned Parenthood Federation, the League of Conservation Voters, and the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, alongside respected school, city, and regional leaders.

Among them are Jessica Speiser, Vaishali “Shali” Sirkay, Jeff Baier, Laura Casas, Patrick Ahrens, Anna Eshoo, Margaret Abe-Koga, Sally Meadows, Larry Lang, Pete Dailey, Jonathan Weinberg, and Neysa Fligor.

Choosing a councilmember means looking beyond familiarity to who is best equipped to solve problems, build consensus, and deliver results. Anky’s experience as a corporate attorney, PTA leader, community mediator, co-founder of the Dutch School Silicon Valley, and Housing Manager for the City of Mountain View gives her a strong foundation for that work. She understands both the concerns of local families and the practical responsibilities of city government.

Anky and her family have called Los Altos home for more than 35 years. Her children attended Oak Elementary, Blach, and Mountain View High School, and now her grandchildren are growing up here and attending local public schools. Her commitment to Los Altos spans generations, giving her a personal stake in the decisions we make today and the community we leave for tomorrow.

What makes Anky the stronger choice is how she approaches leadership: listening carefully, communicating clearly, and working collaboratively toward meaningful results. Those qualities matter when our city faces complicated decisions that require sound judgment and cooperation.

For me, the choice comes down to experience, judgment, and a collaborative approach to public service. Anky brings all three, and that's why I'm endorsing her and encouraging you to vote for her.

This race is uncontested. In uncontested races, I do not always provide a recommendation. As someone who lives in District 4, I do recommend Larry, as I have seen him be deeply engaged with the community.

This is our city's first time voting as Districts. Since we're all transitioning to a new voting system, here is a summary of the District areas, who is sitting in that seat now, and when you would vote for that seat.

This is a hotly contested race with two incumbents and one returning Board member running for the same seat. Sanjay is a former MVLA School Board member who served for 8 years between 2016-2024. The other two candidates are incumbents, and they're all running for Esmeralda Ortiz's seat, who has decided not to run for a second term. Esmeralda has endorsed Sanjay for this race. Other trusted local leaders and MVLA community members have also endorsed Sanjay.

The MVLA School Board is in need of leadership, and I've endorsed Sanjay because I believe he is the most capable of providing the guidance and experience that is needed.

I’m Peipei. I’m a parent here, and I’m a long-time and dedicated volunteer in Los Altos. I love Los Altos. I’m planning to live here for the long term and hopefully see my grandkids grow up here.

That’s why I’m voting no on Measure D, along with:

I understand the appeal of protecting our downtown and giving residents a voice. I want those things, too. But when I look at how this measure actually works, I see expensive legal battles, risks to our neighborhoods, and potentially less local control.
