Elections 2025: A Preservation Primer

On April 8th, 2025, San José City Council District 3 voters return to the polls for a special election to choose a new representative D3 following previous Councilmember Omar Torres's November 2024 resignation. 

​

To better inform voters and candidates alike on major policy issues related to historic preservation, development, and the future of San José, PAC*SJ distributed this five-question survey to the seven candidates vying to represent the city's Downtown and central neighborhoods.

​

As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, PAC*SJ does not make candidate endorsements. However, we strongly encourage District 3 residents to learn more about each candidate's position on these issues and to vote by April 8th. Should no candidate receive more than 50% of the vote, a two-person run-off election will be held on June 24th, 2025.
