"I am advocating for a special election...just as I did in 2022 when my own council seat (District 10) was made vacant when I became mayor. I believe that the voters of the district should choose their representative, not a handful of people elected to represent other parts of the city."
"Elections are fundamental to a representative democracy and, even if it takes longer and costs more, ensuring that the people choose who represents them is worth the time and cost."
"We know this has been a horrible moment for San Jose - especially with the circumstances surrounding Omar Torres' resignation and arrest. It is crucial to restore faith in local governance through a transparent electoral process."
