Having known Karen Hardy for three decades, I have witnessed her deep commitment to both the preservation of Santa Clara’s unique historic resources and the responsibility to ensure its growth into a sustainable future, without ever losing track of what its citizens need to make their city the special placeit is. A vote for Karen Hardy for Mayor, is a vote for Santa Clara’s Past, Present and Future.

I gladly endorse Karen Hardy for Mayor of Santa Clara in the Fall 2026 City Election because during the past 35 years that I have known her Karen has provided our city with wise, successful, and compassionate leadership at every level and in every sphere of city life.  As our Mayor, Karen will continue to pursue the best interests of our uniquely blessed city with excellence and love.
