Mountain View
Vice-Mayor, Lisa Matichak
“I served with John on the city council for four years. John brought new ideas to address tough issues, and importantly he brought the perspective of a local business owner. He's lived in Mountain View his entire life and has quality of life top of mind when making decisions. I support John, and I encourage you to support him.”
Mountain View Councilmember, Margaret Abe-Koga
“John McAlister’s decades of experience as a former Mayor, councilmember, and the only local business owner running for office set him apart. As the longest resident among the candidates, John deeply understands Mountain View and has always prioritized quality of life issues like housing, transportation, and public safety. He has consistently worked to enhance the well-being of residents while preserving the character of our neighborhoods. His proven leadership and dedication make him the clear choice to continue leading with integrity and vision.”
