""Our role is one step in the process of generating revenue that funds vital services in Santa Clara County," Fligor said. "I am the only candidate with the experience, qualifications, leadership and management skills to be the next county assessor. I am ready to serve the residents of Santa Clara County on day one.""
""We believe the management skills that we have managing hundreds of people in high-tech role will be absolutely important in the role of the Assessor's Office," Kumar said. "I'm the only candidate talking about affordability. In Santa Clara County, there are seniors who are being pushed to homelessness due to property taxes. And that's the change that I'm looking to bring.""
