City Council candidates speak about priorities at forum

What do you bring to the table? What are your top initiatives?

Should the City fund police or social programs to decrease burglaries? How can the City ensure wildfire safety?

What would you do to improve Los Altos’ financial footing? Do you think the City should have pursued the 40 Main street lawsuit to trial and appeal?

What’s your take on affordable housing? What would be your priorities for implementing the Downtown Vision Plan? How do you plan to best support local businesses?
