Supervisor Dando?by The Fly on Apr 03, 2009The jockeying has started early for the termed-out District 1 supervisor’s seat held by Don Gage, which will be on the ballot in June 2010, still more than a year away. Former San Jose City Councilmember Forrest Williams has been telling anyone who will listen that he’s running for the seat, and water district board member Rosemary Kamei has been mentioned as another possible candidate. One interesting entrant would be Teresa Alvarado, daughter of ex-Supervisor Blanca Alvarado, who’s been telling friends she’s serious about taking a run at it. The race could become even more interesting if Republican Pat Dando, a former San Jose city councilmember and mayoral candidate who currently runs the Chamber of Commerce, dives in. Dando says that she has not made any decisions and needs to talk to her family but adds, “I am seriously considering it. I care a lot about this city and Santa Clara County and have a good sense of what the district’s needs are, as well as the special services that the county provides.” The South County seat incorporates her former Almaden Valley council district, where she is quite popular. Dando had lunch Monday with Mayor Chuck Reed at Billy Berk’s, but swears she was talking about “strictly issues dealing with the business community.” by The Fly on Apr 03, 2009 |
