"Campos served on the council from 2001 to 2010 - and was succeeded by her brother Xavier - and in the state Assembly from 2010 to 2016. She most recently worked as a consultant for 55 Advisors, a policy advocacy lobbying firm, according to LinkedIn. She previously ran for the seat in 2022 and lost to current Councilmember Peter Ortiz. Campos said her priorities include affordable housing, investing in parks and youth programs, homelessness and small business support."
"She points to her role in leading the revitalization of the neglected shopping area at Story and King roads, advocating for VTA's light rail extension to Eastridge and hiring more police under former Mayor Chuck Reed. "My leadership shows that I have a proven track record of getting things done because I listen to what people are saying and what they want and what's missing in their district - and what's missing in their quality of life," Campos told San José Spotlight."
