The District 6 representative faces Jake Tonkel, Andrew Boone and Marshall Woodmansee in her bid for a second term.

The San Jose native says the public needs to be more engaged in development to address the dire shortfall of places to live in Silicon Valley.

Green Party candidate Jake Tonkel has joined Andrew Boone in challenging incumbent Dev Davis for the San Jose’s District 6 City Council seat.

The Silicon Valley Organization drew flak for the way it responded to a campaign mailer about a candidate endorsed by its PAC.

San Jose’s 16 licensed pot shops can sell non-medicinal cannabis to anyone over the age of 21 starting Jan. 1.

Political donors have spent more than $1.6 million on three San Jose ballot measures and another $822,000 on three City Council contests.

My vision for San Jose is to revitalize our strengths and channel Silicon Valley innovation into solutions to address our weaknesses.

Dev Davis and Helen Chapman may disagree on how to solve major issues, but both are exceptionally qualified to represent District 6.

The city has two options for the Evans Lane site: one would house people by next summer, the other would add affordable homes in the long-term.

Helen Chapman took issue with the incumbent’s role in organizing a series of political forums, but she has since agreed to participate.
