SAN JOSÉ, CA -- Today, Mayor Sam Liccardo celebrated the newest members elected to San Jose’s City Council. The new councilmembers, David Cohen (D-4), Matt Mahan (D-10), along with returning Councilmembers Sergio Jimenez (D-2), Dev Davis (D-6), and Sylvia Arenas (D-8) will be virtually sworn in during Tuesday’s council meeting. He released the following statement:
“Tomorrow we’ll celebrate the swearing-in of two of my new colleagues, Councilmembers David Cohen, and Matt Mahan. I welcome these two individuals who hail from the private sector but have deep backgrounds and commitment to community service—particularly in educating our youth. Their election has them leaving successful careers behind in tech, which says much about their passion for public service, and their character. I would also like to congratulate my returning colleagues, Sylvia Arenas, Dev Davis, and Sergio Jiménez as they reaffirm their commitment to serving the residents of this city. Amid the unprecedented challenges that local communities face in this difficult moment, we should celebrate those with the courage to step forward, make difficult decisions, push for solutions to vexing problems, and to serve.”
