The student civics club at #VCHS were highly intelligent & inspired to learn about our government. They asked good questions re: transportation & homelessness, w/sincere concern about climate change & mental health. They exhibited why San Jose students make #GreatFutureLeaders

[Jim Zito For San Jose City Council District 8 @VoteJimZito]

Campaigning I met seniors, students, people of different faiths & cultures, & residents with differing views from both sides of the aisle.

I am fiscally responsible, independent & I stand up to special interests & divisiveness. I will be your voice @ city hall, the people of D8.

It was an honor to speak @ Evergreen Islamic Center candidate forum.

I look forward to working with our Muslim community collaboratively on the challenges we face in San Jose. I stand strongly against any federal or state policies that are divisive & that do not promote unity.
