Thank you, for your incredible support in so many ways that propelled our Coalition Campaign to a strong first place finish in March!

Our country, state and region is heading for exciting, hopeful times.  As your County Supervisor, I’ll bring a lifetime of experiences as a working mom, County Board of Education Trustee, and City Councilmember, to making  a real difference for all of our communities.  Thank you for visiting my site and remembering to vote on November 5th, in my race and many others.

The momentum you’ve given us is undeniable. My heartfelt thanks to you and the hundreds of volunteers and endorsers from every corner of the District who share our vision - your dedication means everything. Let's keep the momentum up for a Safer, Stronger, Healthier Santa Clara County! On to November!

I would be grateful if you could do any/all of the following:

  • We’re doing a “Meet Margaret” house coffee program in as many neighborhoods as we can between now and November. Sign up to host a coffee.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, for showing up to support me in this campaign, and I look forward to continuing to see you on the campaign trail!

Gratefully,

Margaret Abe-Koga
Proven Leadership for Santa Clara County

Councilmember Margaret Abe-Koga is a working mom, former small business owner, and breast cancer survivor. Margaret was born at Stanford Hospital and raised on the Peninsula by immigrant parents from Japan. She and her husband Yotto saved to purchase their home in Mountain View, where they raised two daughters who attended public schools and cared for Margaret’s aging parents. 

A graduate of Harvard University, Margaret is running for County Supervisor to address skyrocketing housing costs and create solutions to homelessness; advocate for small, local businesses; and work with law enforcement to address rising crime.

A former Congressional Aide to U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo and Assemblymember Evan Low’s former District Director, Margaret has brought commonsense fiscal leadership to her elected positions on the Santa Clara County Board of Education and  Mountain View City Council, where she was the first Asian Pacific Islander American woman to serve as Vice Mayor and Mayor in the City’s history.

PRIORITIES

Safe
Neighborhoods

“Property crime is on the rise.  More of us are victims of smash and grabs, catalytic converter thefts, broken car windows and other robberies.  I’m proud to be endorsed by County Sheriff Bob Jonsen, District Attorney Jeff Rosen, Deputy Sheriffs, and local police officers for my work in addressing this uptick in crime and my approaches to protecting our safety and quality of life.”

Small Business
Advocacy

“As a former small business owner, I’ve experienced firsthand the joys, challenges, and needs of small businesses. A thriving small business community contributes to our community character and quality of life.  As Supervisor, I’ll convene a Small Business Advisory Cabinet to hear directly from businesses on how we can navigate and support one another in today’s uncertain economy.”

Strong Fiscal Leadership
for Tough Times

“I led my City through the Great Recession and current, skyrocketing inflation.  I believe in maintaining balanced budgets, holding the line on taxes, and maintaining Mountain View’s excellent bond rating.  I’ll bring the same fiscal discipline to the Board of Supervisors.”
