District 5 Forum — Mountain Community Focus

A forum centered specifically on the issues mountain residents face — power, roads, schools, and county services.

A District 5 candidates forum focused specifically on the issues facing the mountain community.

Key topics

  • PG&E service
  • Road closures
  • Garbage service
  • School funding
  • Healthcare
  • Water management
  • County services

Community context

Mountain residents have been moved into a district shared with Los Altos, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino — a reshuffling that gave the forum extra weight as candidates considered how they would represent a constituency split between dense urban communities and remote ridgeline neighborhoods.
