Donate to Seema Lindskog for Cupertino City Council

I serve on the Cupertino Planning Commission, I'm the Chair of Walk Bike Cupertino, and I've been a proud Rotarian, Safe Routes to School parent, and PTSA volunteer for many years. Along the way, I've helped bring projects like the Regnart Creek Trail to life, partnering with community leaders across the city, county, and region.

So why am I running for City Council?

The debate over housing and governance in Cupertino has grown loud and divisive. But here's what I know from a decade of talking with residents: we agree on far more than we disagree on.

We all want a city with a positive vision. One that cuts red tape, streamlines permit approvals, and helps homeowners in high fire risk areas navigate state law. Safe neighborhoods. Green, walkable streets and easy access to nature. The ability to age with dignity in your own home. A pathway to home ownership for young families and essential workers. A fiscally strong city without higher taxes. Thriving small businesses and more mid-size companies investing here. Nearby jobs for shorter commutes. Cutting-edge schools. Thriving retail and restaurants that give people reasons to stay local. And Vallco — finally completed.

That is the city I'm running to build. Not embattled and reactive, but energized, innovative, and optimistic. Not focused on what Cupertino should not become — but on what Cupertino can be.

Thank you for your support!
