Oliverio: Four More Years
Originally posted Mar 13, 200813 Mar
The news passed rather quietly last weekend, but voters in San Jose’s District 6 won’t have much to do on June 3 …. incumbent Pierluigi Oliverio is the only candidate for City Council.
The filing deadline for candidates was last week, and Oliverio is unopposed. Other city districts will have some interesting races, but not here.
Oliverio has had a fairly uneventful term replacing the departed Ken Yeager, and has been just as visible in the community as his predecessor. The WG Times recently published a review of his first year, and he continues to engage with citizens across SJ with his weekly SanJoseInside column.
WG voters who live east of Meridian Avenue will still get to vote on the Santa Clara County Supervisor’s race to replace Blanca Alvarado, but George Shirakawa Jr seems to be the only candidate with a realistic shot.
At least we’ll still have some online polls to complete …

Lest anyone object to the phrase “uneventful term” — Pierluigi reads WGx – the picture on the front of this week’s Metro says it all.
That’s an artist’s caricature of the City Council. WGx humbly suggests that a term is “uneventful” when the vaguely-identifiable Council Member is depicted playing the bongos in a very mild cartoonish fashion in the background, stage right.
For the first time in years, District 2 of the Santa Clara Valley Water District also has a competitive race. I’m running against Joe Judge, the incumbent who has been a Director for 21 years. Please see my website for more information.
