Former Moutain View mayor Margaret Abe-Koga is running for county supervisor in what’s likely to be a hot race to replace Joe Simitian on the board.
MOUNTAIN VIEW — Margaret Abe-Koga, former mayor and long-time city councilmember, is running to replace Santa Clara County Board Supervisor Joe Simitian as both politicians shift into new gears a year before they term out of their current positions.
“I think the county is a good segue from the work I’ve been able to do in Mountain View,” Abe-Koga said. “I’m terming out of my council seat next year and he’s terming out of his so while I’ve definitely enjoyed my 16 years on the council and I’m proud of the work, I really love the work and making a difference so that’s what I want to keep doing on the board.”
In 2006 she was elected to the Mountain View City Council and two years later served as vice mayor before being chosen mayor in 2009, making her the first Asian American female to serve as such in Mountain View’s 108-year history. She served as mayor again in 2020 at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
On the council, Abe-Koga has pushed back against the state’s efforts to influence city planning and has prioritized quality of life, open space and parks, and the potential unintended consequences of development when considering housing projects in Mountain View. While she believes the city has done a lot already, she said there are “real challenges that we’re dealing with now.”
