“My eight year tenure as a member of the Santa Clara Parks and Rec. Commission ended on June 30, 2014. As a member, we all had to attend an Ethics Class and thereafter I decided not to support any persons running for City Council during our last election even though there were two who were qualified and thankfully they easily won without my help. Now as a citizen with no attachment to our City government I would like to sincerely endorse Roseann LaCoursier for City Council. I do so because I had the privilege of working with her on the Parks and Rec. Commission. During that time I observed a person who is not only dedicated to children of our City not only because of her involvement with PAL but t all. She also has shown true commitment to all the citizens of our great city. In her using mostly her own funds in this election tells me that she is not beholding to any special interest group. This to me is not only highly ethical but a true sign of someone who cares and will represent is all; therefore, I urge everyone to vote for Roseann LaCousier for City Council.”

Note to reader: these are my opinions. The Mayor role for the first time in a long time will go to someone possibly outside of the old guard or could the old guard hold power with a puppet that slips it to continue the rule of the Mission City. It’s hard to say at this ... Read more
Roger KintThe 2026 elections are just around the corner in Santa Clara, and everyone is wondering who will run for various open seats. In 2026, there will be no incumbents defending.
