I am thrilled to announce I am running for Redwood City Council District 2 where I have lived in Downtown and now call Centennial home. Because of my experience and passion for a Redwood City that supports residents of all ages, I've earned the support of Congressman Kevin Mullin, Senator Josh Becker, Mayor Elmer Martinez-Saballos and local leaders to keep Redwood City a safe, livable, and affordable community for all residents.
District 2 is the beating heart of Redwood City. Encompassing Downtown, Centennial, and part of Mt. Carmel, our District is home to our community’s most diverse neighborhoods, treasured small businesses, and bustling transit corridors, like Caltrain, El Camino Real, and Broadway. On the Council, my top priority will be to keep Downtown, Centennial, and Mt. Carmel clean, safe, and vibrant.
Community service is my passion. I was first called to service as an organizer and advocate, where I fought to provide relocation assistance, allow ADU or “granny flat” units for family members, and secure deeply affordable apartments for our community’s most vulnerable residents.

Chris Sturken on Housing and Abundance
“First, we need to prevent families from losing their homes by preserving existing affordable housing, creating new affordable homes, and expanding the City’s emergency rental assistance program to prevent defaulted payments.”
“Second, we need to place unhoused families into stable, permanent homes by pushing developers to create extremely affordable housing and by exploring innovative solutions like social housing.”
“I work for a local nonprofit affordable housing organization that manages affordable homes throughout the Peninsula and facilitates an innovative home sharing program.”
