Dear Friends,

After extensive thought and discussion with my family I have decided to suspend my campaign for the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. This was not a decision I came to lightly, but it is the right one to make for my family at this time. Thank you so much to those who offered their support to my candidacy whether financial or personal endorsement. I am grateful and humbled.

Over the past few months I’ve had the unique opportunity to meet with so many of you and hear your thoughts on what we need in order to maintain and improve the quality of life we have here in Santa Clara County.

This community will always be my home and as a former San Jose Vice-Mayor, Councilmember and involved community member I will continue to be an active and vocal advocate for affordable housing, expanded public transportation and public safety. These are the issues I centered my campaign around and will continue to fight for. As always I will continue to be an advocate for Veterans and Veterans’ causes and a booster for our Evergreen area.

Thank you for your support and please stay in contact.

Warm regards,

Rose Herrera
