In 2005, Nancy began her first term on the San Jose City Council as the representative for District 10. A retired teacher of over 25 years and a former Community College Board Trustee, Nancy represents approximately 100,000 residents from Almaden Valley and Blossom Valley.
As District 10's City Councilmember, Nancy takes an innovative approach to solving today's challenges through creativity and collaboration. She has focused city government on the basics, maintaining our streets and parks, keeping our neighborhoods safe, investing resources in youth and senior programs and making city government more accountable.
In addition, when the City’s general fund deficit threatened to close Almaden Lake Park for the summer, Councilmember Pyle pledged her Council budget to cover half of the funds necessary to keep the park open and called on residents to donate the other half. Her innovative and collaborative solution was a model program for the Parks Trust Fund and allowed swimmers of all ages to continue to enjoy Almaden Lake Park.
Councilmember Pyle is the Chair of the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee and a member of the Airport Competitiveness Committee. She serves as the Council liaison to the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Disability Advisory Commission. Councilmember Pyle also serves on the Santa Clara County Emergency Preparedness Council. In 2010, Nancy served as the President of the San Jose-Dublin Sister City Committee and proudly displays 24 years of Waterford crystal gifts from the Emerald Isle in her office.
Nancy Pyle is a graduate of LeMoyne College in Syracuse, New York, where she majored in French (she’s fluent!), and earned a Masters Degree in Educational Administration from the US International University in San Diego. In 1960, Nancy moved to San Jose with her family where she served as a teacher, Community Relations Manager, and Legislative Analyst for San Jose Unified School District. She has two adult children, 3 step children and 4 step grandchildren.
