  • ALAMEDA: “Our city has accomplished so much important work over the past eight years to make Alameda safe and accessible for everyone, but that progress will only continue if the next Council carries it forward. Four years ago, I appointed Thushan to the Library Board and have gotten to know him well since then: he is smart, positive, energetic, and hardworking, and regularly attends City Council meetings to advocate on major issues.
