""We mourn the loss of former Mayor Stephen Cassidy, a dedicated and experienced public servant whose impact on our community will be felt for generations," said current San Leandro Mayor Juan González in a statement. "Cassidy's transformative vision and unwavering commitment to the City of San Leandro and to the San Leandro Unified School District leaves an impactful legacy rooted in service, integrity, and care for our residents.""
""As mayor, he led with vision and integrity, advancing initiatives that promoted economic development, civic innovation, and community engagement," city officials said. "His guiding principles of fiscal responsibility, transparency in government, and positioning San Leandro as a 'center of innovation' in the Bay Area, defined his leadership." While serving as mayor, Cassidy had many accomplishments, from bolstering city resources to proposing that the pride flag be flown at City Hall to show support of marriage equality."
Stephen Cassidy served as San Leandro mayor after being elected in 2010 and had an enduring commitment that helped shape the city's civic and cultural identity. He began public service on the San Leandro School Board, championing educational excellence and equity, then served on the City Council before becoming mayor. His mayoral leadership emphasized fiscal responsibility, transparency, economic development, civic innovation, and community engagement. Key actions included proposing the pride flag at City Hall, establishing a partnership with OSIsoft to build the Lit San Leandro fiber-optic network, and launching community outreach events such as Coffee with the Mayor and language-specific public forums.
