Endorsements for Seema Patel San Mateo City Council District 3
I'm proud to have the support of elected officials, community leaders, and neighbors across San Mateo and the Bay Area in the 2026 election for City Council District 3. These endorsements reflect a shared belief that San Mateo deserves leadership rooted in action – not just words.
As Chair of the Planning Commission for the City of San Mateo, I've spent years working alongside many of these leaders on the issues that matter most to our community: affordable housing, safe streets, and sustainable infrastructure. From state legislators and our County Board of Supervisors to school board members, local business owners, and the neighbors I see at the park – this growing coalition is proof that our campaign is powered by community.
This broad support means the world to me, and it sends a clear message: San Mateo is ready for leadership that listens, acts, and delivers. If you'd like to add your name, I'd be honored to have you join us.
