Thank you for entrusting me with another four years, Hayward. I’m honored to represent the neighborhoods that raised me as District 1’s first elected Council Member. We won this election with a vision for Hayward rooted in community and possibility rather than fear. We won with a platform informed by thousands of conversations that spoke to the real needs of residents, from our neighbors on the streets to the homeowners in the Hayward Hills. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue tackling these issues with you and building on the progress we’ve made over the last four years. Even though my name was printed on the mailers and yard signs, this campaign was never about me. Our movement has always been about realizing Hayward’s potential, delivering material results for our community, and ushering in a new generation of political leadership that puts people above profit. If the results of this race—and elections across the country—mean anything, it’s that we are unapologetically doubling down on this direction no matter how much corporate interests spend trying to silence us. It’s been a long year, but every step of the way your words of encouragement and unshakeable belief in a better future gave me the strength to keep going. Thank you again for the immense privilege of serving Hayward. This victory belongs to you.

2025 was full of ups and downs for Hayward. I’ve done my best to condense the good, the bad, and the ugly of it all into one post for your viewing pleasure: syrop.substack.com/p/georges…

Is it Spring already?

I’m deeply saddened by the loss of Supervisor Valle, who was a staunch advocate for labor and fought to strengthen tenant protections until the very end.

I was so blown away!

The violence the LGBTQIA+ community experiences is often described as senseless, but there are reactionary forces intentionally spending millions to attack marginalized communities over the news, online, and in political office. #TransDayOfRemembrance
