ENDORSEMENTS

Gurinder Pal Singh
I endorse her wholeheartedly. Harbir has years of record of outstanding Public service. She was probably born with the spirit of Sewa (selfless service). After moving here from college in Ohio to Santa Clara, she and some of her friends organized a Big Brother/Big Sister organization. My children along with others were their younger brothers and sisters.
Lori Voiss-Garmany
I read the lies from Kathy Watanabe and it made me sick to my stomach! Sending flyers of 100% lies about Harbir to the Santa Clara residents. I would NEVER vote for someone who lies to the people for their votes! Harbir has a golden track record of Volunteering and giving of herself to the city of Santa Clara! Vote for Honesty, Trust, Loyalty & Love- Vote for Harbir!
Bob Buchser, Teacher & Principal, MCCF Awardee
"I have known Harbir for years and she embodies the Rotary philosophy, "service above self". We have worked together on programs Steps for Success, Christmas for Kids, and more. She's always supporting the community, residents, seniors, youth and the vulnerable by coming up with creative solutions.
Peter Kuo
I had a great conversation with Harbir. I am confident with her business and volunteer experience, she will make Santa Clara better for 2021 and beyond. Peter Kuo, Agency Owner- Peter Kuo Insurance Agency.

Wesley Mukoyama
She represents the new voices against the systemic racism of the city council. Defeat Kathy Watanabe.
Mike Strouf
It is refreshing to talk to someone who feels like we need more transparency in our city government and who supports small business, and wants to create revenue from Levi Stadium and the 49ers
Michael Sage
I have known Harbir for years, and know her to be a humane, pro-active people-person who will do a great job serving the people of our city.
Ash Kalra, CA State Assemblymember

WHY AM I RUNNING?

Santa Clara has been my home for the last 15+ years and it has been a place to be much proud of! It’s in a unique location – surrounded by amazing companies of innovation, home to highly skilled and talented residents new and old, has a rich heritage and diverse cultures, a variety of places and treasures to enjoy, and so much more! I have a vision of Santa Clara that is enriched, inclusive, engaged, thriving, and provides a sustainable and brighter future for all. I want to represent the people and ensure we make better choices to create this future, where our city can focus on providing a better quality of life.

However, many of the past actions and decisions have created a not-so-rosy future for us. The city of Santa Clara has a small-town feel but has faced big-city problems for the last decade and poor plans for the future. Here is a partial list:

  • Financial Health and Budget: Deficit of  $34Million over the next few years.
  • Limited revenue streams, expensive lawsuits and poor decisions.
  • Poor tourism and marketing appeal
  • Poor planning for funding services now, and planning for the future
  • Continue Reading More…

FALSE CLAIM: That I have taken money from 49ers OR Jed York

CHECK out the Form 460 (which is public record) which shows all the donors to my campaign (and all candidate campaigns)

  • https://public.netfile.com/pub2/?aid=CSC

  • Public record for all candidates is available for all to see. Don’t be fooled by fake mailers or claims that are trying to claim otherwise. They are all trying to misdirect voters.
  • I believe #transparency is important in public service!
