Notable quote: “Our small businesses are struggling and our housing crisis is only getting worse. I’m ready to get to work on these issues. I ran because I knew I was ready to do the job. ... I had a story and perspective and skills that were missing from the discussion and I can raise up the voices of many communities being left out.” —Sergio Lopez, San Jose Inside
