On June 24th, 2025, San José City Council District 3 voters return to the polls for a special election to choose a new D3 representative following previous Councilmember Omar Torres's November 2024 resignation. This special run-off election features the two top-vote-getters from a seven-candidate primary held on April 8th.​ 

 

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 originally vying to represent the city's Downtown and central neighborhoods; their responses are archived here. The two finalists' responses, from Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos, are repeated below.

​​

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 the two candidates' positions on these issues and to vote by June 24th.
