City of Los Altos City Council Councilmember Sally Meadows

On her campaign site, Meadows says, “I treasure the charm and warmth of our town and its neighborhoods and have spent the past decade dedicated to serving our community.” From her service on city commissions, she saw government in action. She chose to run for City Council “because we need experienced and commonsense leaders who have a vision for Los Altos today and also accept responsibility and stewardship for tomorrow.”

Notable quote: “These are people who are part of our community already, but they can’t live here. ... It’s really not an inclusive community and we don’t get the full choice of people who want to work here because they have to drive so far to do it.” —Quoted by Daily Post
