City of Pleasanton

Pleasanton City Council, District 3

This person would hold one of Pleasanton's four district City Council seats. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. Pleasanton is an Alameda County city of about 80,000 people. The term is four years, with an eight-year term limit. Pleasanton's Mayor is elected separately, citywide. The other two Council seats are not up this cycle.

Councilmember Julie Testa is running for Mayor. That leaves this seat open. Two candidates are running, Reena Gupta and Jamie Yee. The top vote getter on November 3 wins. There is no runoff.

This District 3 seat is one of Pleasanton's four district City Council seats: city ordinances, the budget, and land use in this Alameda County city of about 80,000, for a 4-year term, subject to an 8-year term limit. Pleasanton's Mayor is elected separately, citywide; the city's other two Council seats (Districts 2 and 4) aren't up this cycle.

Both candidates are longtime Pleasanton residents running on fiscal-responsibility and public-safety platforms, but bring different backgrounds: Gupta is a small-business owner and former city commissioner running their first campaign for elected office, while Yee is a 12-year former school board trustee returning to public office after over a decade away from an elected seat.

Reena Gupta

Gupta is 56 and their ballot designation is Local Business Owner. They run on fiscal discipline and transparency. They also want to revitalize Downtown Pleasanton. They have been a small business owner and Pleasanton mom for 15 years.

Jamie Yee

Yee's ballot designation is Public Health Communications Manager. She runs on public safety and a strong economy. She also wants a transparent City Hall. She served 12 years as a Pleasanton Unified School District Board Trustee.
