City of San Bruno
San Bruno City Council, District 4
This person would hold one of San Bruno's four district-elected City Council seats. A separately elected, citywide Mayor also serves on the council. An appointed City Manager runs day-to-day operations. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. The term is four years.
Marty Medina holds this seat now. He has served on the council since 2015. He was a Public Works Inspector before that. He faces Planning Commissioner Auros Harman for the District 4 seat.
The winner serves a 4-year term. The seat is one of four district seats on San Bruno's City Council. A Mayor is elected separately, citywide. The council votes on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. It is a council-manager government with an appointed City Manager. San Bruno council races have no primary. Medina and Harman go straight to the November 3 ballot. Whoever gets the most votes wins outright.
Both candidates campaign on infrastructure and public safety. They come at it from different angles. Medina is a registered No Party Preference voter. He points to his decade-plus as a city Public Works Inspector. He says local government should focus on "solving problems, delivering services, protecting taxpayers... not on partisan politics." Harman has been a Planning Commissioner since 2019. He centers his campaign on budget transparency and what he calls the city's budget deficit. He also names aging infrastructure and climate and disaster preparedness. His endorsements span Congress, the state legislature, and San Bruno's own current and former officials.
Marty Medina
