Retired U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier is running for a seat on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, which is where she launched her political career more than 40 years ago.
“I know from experience that local action can make a huge difference for us all, and I’m concerned that our quality of life in San Mateo County faces big challenges,” Speier said in a news release sent Tuesday, announcing her candidacy for a seat on the five-member board.
Speier served on the county board of supervisors from 1980 to 1986 before winning seats in the state Legislature and then Congress. Janice Hahn and Hilda Solis are also former members of Congress turned county supervisors. But their county — Los Angeles — is the most populous in the U.S. with nearly 10 million residents.
In the news release, she said she wants to make childcare more affordable and to build more affordable housing.
