Affordable housing is a priority, she said. We don't have enough units, and those that exist are too expensive. Public safety will also be a focus, ensuring residents feel secure and have strong ties with safety officials.
This election is significant for East Palo Alto, which hasn't had representation on the county board since Rose Jacobs Gibson, the first African-American supervisor in San Mateo County, served from 1999 to 2013.
Gauthier emphasized affordable housing, reproductive rights, education, and social equity as her key priorities. If she pulls off the win, Gauthier will join political veteran and former Congresswoman Jackie Speier on the board.
As of 8:10 p.m., Gauthier had a 60% to 39% advantage over fellow East Palo Alto Councilmember Antonio Lopez. District 4 covers East Palo Alto, Redwood City, Menlo Park, and the unincorporated area of North Fair Oaks.
