A San José that's Safe and Sustainable for Every Generation!

I'm Gordon Chester. I was born and raised in the Cambrian area, and I'm running to represent you as the next District 9 City Councilmember. I have taken the time to learn how and why you, the people, say that we need to improve our safety and address our numerous housing issues. As your District 9 City Council Member, I will work for you and pave the road towards a safer city, a more economically sustainable city, and a city that offers everyone the opportunity to achieve the happiness they want for their family, friends, and neighbors.
