Palo Alto
Cory Wolbach
Cory is a current Palo Alto City Council member and believes Palo Alto should lead the region in developing housing and transportation solutions to address our severe jobs-housing imbalance. In his first city council term, he fought for renter protections like relocation assistance and introduced legislation to reduce zoning regulations to promote development of housing for all income levels. Cory also spearheaded changes to ADU policies to enable Palo Altans to say YES to housing, literally in their backyards.

Sunnyvale Seat 1
Gustav Larsson
Gustav is an incumbent Sunnyvale City Council member and has a record of supporting housing in Sunnyvale. He believes building more market rate housing is critical in order to improve affordability of naturally affordable housing: “Every household that moves into a new unit is one less household competing for older, less expensive units.” Gustav is also a proponent of permanent supportive housing to serve the needs of vulnerable groups, including seniors and families formerly experiencing homelessness.
