Councilmembers filled East San Jose’s D8 on Tuesday night — and are set to fill Almaden Valley’s D10 on Thursday
After months of contentious debate on how to fill its vacant seats, the San Jose City Council appointed a Stanford University administrator to represent East San Jose.
The district covers the city’s Evergreen neighborhood, from Lake Cunningham Park in the north to Evergreen Valley Community College to the east all the way down south to the Silver Creek Valley Country Club. A former staffer of Sen. Jim Beall and the county’s Water District, Candelas says he wants to focus on housing affordability, stronger social services and cleaner public spaces.
The District 8 seat became vacant in November after former councilmember Sylvia Arenas was elected to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. Almaden Valley’s District 10 seat — previously held by Mahan — was also left vacant and will be filled on Thursday through a similar process.
