Elections 2024: A Preservation Primer

On March 5, 2024, local voters will choose between 30 candidates running to represent San José and Santa Clara County in nine important races: San Jose Mayor, five San Jose City Council seats, and three Santa Clara County Board of Supervisor seats. Those who are elected will have a significant influence on local land use decisions, planning initiatives, and funding priorities that directly affect historic preservation efforts city- and county-wide.   

​

To better inform voters and candidates alike on major policy issues related to historic preservation, PAC*SJ distributed the following nine-question survey to each candidate. Click on the profile pictures below to read each candidate's responses (those with an [*] have not responded to the survey). 

​

As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, PAC*SJ does not make candidate endorsements. However, we strongly encourage you to learn more about each candidate's position on these issues and to vote by March 5th.
