Let’s Build a Vibrant San Mateo, Together!

I’m Seema Patel – a mother, Planning Commissioner, and community organizer – and I’m running for San Mateo City Council (District 3) to build a city where everyone can thrive.

My family put down roots here 12 years ago, drawn by the walkable streets and friendly community. Now, I’m running to ensure San Mateo is affordable, safe and sustainable for future generations.

I don't just talk about solutions, I deliver them:

1. As a Planning Commissioner, I’ve navigated complex decisions to approve housing we desperately need.
2. As the founder of Safe Streets for Everyone, I organized neighbors to demand safer infrastructure after tragic accidents.
3. As a co-founder of the B Street Boosters, I raised funds to activate our pedestrian mall and rallied residents to save it.

I’m ready to lead, but I can't do it alone. Your contribution pays for the yard signs and mailers we need to reach every voter in District 3.

Let’s move San Mateo forward!
