A neighborhood mom with a background in tech is joining the race for the District 8 San Jose City Council seat, determined to fight for the most vulnerable residents. Surinder Suri Kaur Dhaliwal, a candidate with deep-rooted faith in Sikhism and a love for her community, is vying against incumbent Councilmember Domingo Candelas and other contenders. Dhaliwal, 48, brings with her a commitment to public safety and a vision to curb city vices, including smoking, gambling, and unsheltered homelessness. As she challenges the status quo, Dhaliwal aims to reform the police department and restructure licenses for smoke and liquor shops. Additionally, she plans to collaborate with school leaders to combat vaping and alcohol usage among the city’s youth. Dhaliwal’s authenticity and dedication have earned her support from retired teacher Liz Chaboya, who emphasizes the need for honesty in government and council. By championing the concerns of parents and vulnerable communities, Dhaliwal hopes to bring about positive change in District 8.
