I’m for smart planning, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, and the straight story. Over a month ago, I urged the city council to adopt an AI Data Center Moratorium to give time to educate and engage the public to make informed decisions. #sanleandro #maesformayor #aidatacenters

We have huge road problems affecting nearly 100,000 residents, yet our mayor spends his time working exclusively on the needs of one part of town. His part of town. Juan’s solution could cost San Leandro in upfront costs and recurring maintenance. No public process and a likely 11th hour meeting right before polls close. #sanleandro #maesformayor

I support smart growth for businesses and public participation and transparency in decisions, especially concerning AI Data Centers. #sanleandro #maesformayor #aidatacenters

Leading City Council as Mayor is a tough job. It requires focus, fairness, and someone who will make sure that everyone is treated equitably and with respect. Silence isn't neutrality—it's permission. Standing firm against misogyny, harassment, bullying, and retaliation isn't always easy, but protecting our boundaries and each other is non-negotiable. To anyone going through it right now: your voice matters, your experience is valid, and you don't have to back down. #sanleandro #maesformayor #m

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
