Hello, neighbors! I'm Seema Patel, and I’ve called the Central neighborhood home for 12 years. By trade, I create story-driven spaces that bring families and communities together. By passion, I am a dedicated public servant, a mother of two, and a fierce advocate for a safe, affordable San Mateo.
I'm running for San Mateo City Council District 3 in 2026 to put my experience to work for you.
I am the daughter of immigrants who came to this country seeking a better life. With a father who served as a US Navy officer for 35 years, I was raised to value hard work, integrity, and service to the common good. After living in diverse communities across the country – from Pennsylvania to Florida – I put down roots in San Mateo in 2013, drawn by its walkable neighborhoods, beautiful weather, and perfect location at the heart of the region. It's the community I've built here and the future I want to protect for my family and yours that drives my candidacy for San Mateo City Council.
