Democrat Lily Mei is the first elected woman and Asian American mayor in Fremont’s 65 year history. Besides being the first woman to serve as Fremont’s Mayor, Lily is also a working mom—bringing a unique perspective on the needs of women, children and families to her leadership role. She previously served two terms as a School Board Trustee before being elected to the City Council.
“I began my activism as a working Mom of two kids in our local public schools. As a School Board member, I championed safe, healthy schools and worked to secure millions to upgrade our classrooms. I’ll fund pre-K for low-income students, programs that reduce drop-out rates, and tuition-free college.”
