In his message Mayor Klein said “It’s been an honor to serve as Mayor over the past 5 and half years. and to have the opportunity to set the standard as Sunnyvale’s first directly-elected Mayor. I’m a Technology Mayor, working in Start-ups and Tech companies for over 30 years. I’ve also served Sunnyvale for over 20 years now, including nine years as a Planning Commissioner, non-profit board member, Councilmember, and now as Mayor—and I’m ready to serve for another 4 years. I’ve worked to increase our regional voice, especially during the COVID pandemic, doing whatever I could to help residents and small businesses survive and prosper over the last four years. I’ve highlighted 250+ family-run Sunnyvale restaurants at www.EatSunnyvale.com (http://www.EatSunnyvale.com) , helping them thrive. I’ve also concentrated on celebrating and embracing the diversity of our community—that diversity makes us better! I worked to help elect Sunnyvale’s first Indian American Councilmember, Murali Srinivasan, who is now my Vice Mayor and a big supporter. Sunnyvale has an excellent reputation as a City and Council, and maintaining that reputation is a key responsibility of the Mayor.
My job is being a leader with vision—collaborating with my colleagues and residents to make our city better; focusing on creating walkable, safe and vibrant neighborhoods, finishing our Downtown Vision, building a mixture of housing solutions, and keeping our city moving in the right direction. I’m ready to continue partnering with everyone to make A BETTER SUNNYVALE FOR ALL. Let’s continue to work together to make our city a place where our diversity’s celebrated, voices are uplifted, and everyone has a seat at the table. There’s more work to be done, and I’m committed to continuing our progress. With your support, I will do my best to ensure that our city remains vibrant, prosperous, equitable and inclusive. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to a brighter future for all. I humbly ask you to learn more, donate and join my team at: LARRYFORMAYOR.com”
