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.
“As Fremont’s Mayor, I successfully fought for a state of the art Homeless Navigation Center and mobile hygiene service providing our most vulnerable residents with compassionate transitional housing, food, job placement and mental health services. As State Senator, my top priority is to build on this successful model to address our regional and state crisis.”
