Orrin Mahoney
Candidate Statement for Orrin Mahoney
Occupation: Former Mayor
I am running for Cupertino City Council again to help create a Council that will
collaboratively work together to achieve progress on Cupertino’s key issues: 1)Skyrocketing
housing prices driving teachers, public safety workers, and other key residents to leave
Cupertino; 2)Traffic, including short-term relief and future technologies and driving patterns
providing long-term solutions; 3)Economic sustainability, so that our major employers and
small businesses continue to provide the revenue that supports our City.
While on the City Council before, working with my fellow Councilmembers, we added
significant improvements to the City including key trail and recreational facilities, such as the
Mary Avenue Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridge and the Blackberry Farm and Stevens Creek Trail
renovation. Many shopping centers were modernized and a thriving community gathering
place was established with the Main Street project. Finally, when I was Mayor, Apple Park
was approved, providing for Cupertino’s long term economic security with direct and indirect
fiscal benefits. Apple recently announced that they will work with the City to develop
meaningful traffic solutions.
I will work together with my fellow Councilmembers and our residents to move
Cupertino forward and create a better place for all of us to live, work, and play. Please re-elect
Orrin Mahoney to the Cupertino City Council. www.mahoney4council.com
