Thank you, for your incredible support in so many ways that propelled our Coalition Campaign to a strong first place finish!
While there are still votes to be counted, the momentum you’ve given us is undeniable. My heartfelt thanks to you and the hundreds of volunteers and endorsers from every corner of the District who share our vision - your dedication means everything. Let's keep the momentum up for a Safer, Stronger Santa Clara County! On to November!
I’m going to take a couple of days off to refresh, but we will be right back to work with a strategy to win in November, and we need your help more than ever.
I would be grateful if you could do any/all of the following:
Put your yard sign away (for now) – We will let you know when to put it out again.
Sign up to volunteer and invite a friend to join us too!
Make a donation - please help us get over the finish line!
Please keep an eye out for upcoming events

Gratefully,
Margaret Abe-Koga
Proven Leadership for Santa Clara County
Councilmember Margaret Abe-Koga is a working mom, former small business owner, and breast cancer survivor. Margaret was born at Stanford Hospital and raised on the Peninsula by immigrant parents from Japan. She and her husband Yotto saved to purchase their home in Mountain View, where they raised two daughters who attended public schools and cared for Margaret’s aging parents.
A graduate of Harvard University, Margaret is running for County Supervisor to address skyrocketing housing costs and create solutions to homelessness; advocate for small, local businesses; and work with law enforcement to address rising crime.
A former Congressional Aide to U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo and Assemblymember Evan Low’s former District Director, Margaret has brought commonsense fiscal leadership to her elected positions on the Santa Clara County Board of Education and Mountain View City Council, where she was the first Asian Pacific Islander American woman to serve as Vice Mayor and Mayor in the City’s history.
PRIORITIES
Safe
Neighborhoods
“Property crime is on the rise. More of us are victims of smash and grabs, catalytic converter thefts, broken car windows and other robberies. I’m proud to be endorsed by County Sheriff Bob Jonsen, District Attorney Jeff Rosen, Deputy Sheriffs, and local police officers for my work in addressing this uptick in crime and my approaches to protecting our safety and quality of life.”
Small Business
Advocacy
“As a former small business owner, I’ve experienced firsthand the joys, challenges, and needs of small businesses. A thriving small business community contributes to our community character and quality of life. As Supervisor, I’ll introduce new initiatives to support small businesses still recovering from the pandemic or navigating today’s uncertain economy.”
Strong Fiscal Leadership
for Tough Times
“I led my City through the Great Recession and current, skyrocketing inflation. I believe in maintaining balanced budgets, holding the line on taxes, and maintaining Mountain View’s excellent bond rating. I’ll bring the same fiscal discipline to the Board of Supervisors.”
