Introduction of Jacqueline Bates
I am Jacqueline Bates, candidate for San Jose City Council, District 4. Born and raised in San Jose, I am a product of this community; I attended school in the Berryessa School District. I am a graduate of both Independence High School and San Jose State University.

As a witness to the transformation of San Jose through the years, I appreciate how the area has developed both economically and culturally. Our population has more than doubled in size, from a valley filled with orchards, to the capital of Silicon Valley.

As a thirty-five year resident of District 4 and actively being involved in community and city government, I feel that it is now time for me to give back to my community. My experience and current membership in other affiliations, gives me the strong foundation needed to represent the people I shall proudly serve as City Council Member.

I promise to be a voice for the district, and respect the diversity of all cultures within; bringing forth leadership and community involvement in the 10th largest city in the nation.

When elected I will work with you, the Citizens of my district, to make improvements in our community and address the issues that mean the most to you and to me. Amongst which are the following:

  • Smart Growth and Planning
  • Transportation and Traffic
  • Business Development and Housing

Thank you for your time,

Jacqueline
