Santa Clara Mayor

Dear Fellow Santa Clara Resident,

I am excited to officially announce my candidacy for Santa Clara Mayor. Santa Clara has always been more than just where I live. It’s where my family has grown, where my kids go to school, and where I’ve spent years coaching, volunteering, and building connections in our community.

Like many of you, I chose Santa Clara because of its character, its neighborhoods, and the people who make it feel like home. But today, we face real challenges that require strong, thoughtful leadership.

That’s why I’m running for Mayor.

My campaign is built on a simple idea: Family & Community First. That means safe neighborhoods, responsible spending, and a city that works for every generation.

We must maintain strong public safety services while improving response times and ensuring every neighborhood is protected. We must be responsible with taxpayer dollars, making smart decisions that strengthen our city without waste. And we must invest in our community by supporting our kids, creating opportunities for our seniors, and keeping our neighborhoods connected and thriving.

I bring over 20 years of real-world business experience, working with teams across the country and around the world to solve problems, manage budgets, and deliver results. I’m ready to bring that same level of accountability and leadership to City Hall.

Santa Clara’s future depends on the decisions we make today. I’m committed to protecting what makes our city special while building a stronger, more secure future for our families.

I would be honored to earn your support.

David Kertes
