Editorial: In San Jose special election, Matthew Quevedo is best City Council pick
Briefly

San Jose faces substantial budget shortfalls, projected to reach $60 million in the upcoming fiscal year. The City Council, currently divided between Mayor Matt Mahan's moderates and labor-backed members, needs unifying leadership to tackle pressing issues such as homelessness and affordable housing. The special election in District 3, which could provide Mahan with a majority, is crucial. Voters should elect Matthew Quevedo, who is experienced and aligned with the mayor's agenda, to ensure effective governance. The election is particularly important following the resignation of incumbent Omar Torres amid allegations, highlighting the need for voters to decide on their representatives.
With budget shortfalls projected over the next couple of years, San Jose needs leaders who can unify behind pragmatic and cost-effective approaches to the city's major challenges.
To keep the city of San Jose moving forward, District 3 voters should elect Matthew Quevedo because he is articulate, well-versed in city issues, and ready to step in without a learning curve.
