The battle lines have officially been drawn in the 2020 race to replace San Jose’s Almaden Valley Councilman Johnny Khamis. 

The San Jose councilman says he’s been caught in the crossfires of an apparent political hit that aims to cast him in a bad light. 

The initiative, which passed in a 9-2 vote, will come back for another reading and is slated to go into effect toward the end of September.

Low-income renters and homeless people struggling to find a place to live that accepts housing subsidies may soon find some relief.

San Jose and Santa Clara County join a growing movement to wean local governments off Wall Street by creating publicly owned banks.

Proponents framed the project as exactly the type of development that San Jose needs to correct its stubborn jobs-housing imbalance.

Changing the election cycle would require approval from voters and would give Mayor Sam Liccardo an additional two years in office.

David Cohen, a 20-year North San Jose resident, has officially jumped into the 2020 D4 race against Councilman Lan Diep.

The first-term councilwoman, who represents the city’s affluent and politically active Willow Glen district, says she welcomes the challenge.

Huy Tran shares much in common with Lan Diep, but their political differences inspired him to challenge the D4 rep’s re-election.
