FREMONT — Fremont mayoral candidates face a competitive field in November, as current Mayor Lily Mei terms out and the contenders seeking to replace her stake out their arguments about how much the culture of city government needs to change.
Salwan said he is focused on increasing funding to police and fire departments in the hopes of combating crime, preserving open space, wetlands and hillsides, road work and public facilities investments, reducing homelessness and high density, luxury housing, “keeping taxes low” and “bringing Fun to Fremont,” he wrote.
“Fremont needs a change,” Bacon, a software development manager and former city councilman from 2012 to 2020, wrote in his candidate statement. “There are scandals at the highest levels of government, a budget crisis, a decline in City services, and a crime spike. We need a mayor that can bring new energy and ideas to address these challenges.”
