Until she won a seat on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors in 2022, Sylvia Arenas represented San Jose’s District 8, which encompasses parts of East San José and Evergreen. She’s a longtime local, along with her husband and two children. “District 8 is a great place to start a business and raise a family, with stellar local schools around.
