Tara SreekrishnanCandidate Statement for Tara Sreekrishnan
Occupation: City Council Aide
I'm fighting for a community-oriented Cupertino, where generations of families
from a variety of backgrounds can thrive.
Silicon Valley is growing rapidly, unequally and unsustainably. This election, we
have the opportunity to elect a new Council that will fight for balanced development that
meets the needs of our community and reflects the values and vision of our residents, not
special interests. Together we can take bold action to reduce traffic, create affordable
housing opportunities, build our resilience to climate change, counter school
overcrowding or under-enrollment, and enhance transparency in government.
I know what makes us special because I’m a product of Cupertino; I was raised
here and educated at our public schools. I’m an experienced City Government public
policy professional who passed City laws and successfully navigated City bureaucracies.
I understand City Planning, the major challenges we face from State law impacting our
cities, and what we can do to protect against unintended consequences.
I have also worked as a Community Organizer in Cupertino, mobilizing people
to improve our city. I taught Music in Cupertino for years and have served on multiple
non-profit boards. I ask for your vote so together we can secure Cupertino’s future.
Thank you. www.Tara4Cupertino.com
