Campbell is Going to Sacramento

Campbell is going to the state capital—at least that's the hopes of Campbell Councilman Evan Low.

On Thursday, he announced his 2012 campaign for state Assembly. Five mayors from around Silicon Valley were present at the press conference and spoke about their time spent with Low as well as their praises for the young councilman.

"Evan is someone who is truly devoted to public service, transparency in government and accountability to the people he serves," said Palo Alto Mayor Sid Espinosa in a release.

Another local colleague and friend, Cupertino Mayor Gilbert Wong, also expressed his support.

"Evan Low understands the needs of our community and what it will take to continue to ensure we remain at the forefront of the 21st century economy," Wong said in a release. "We need leaders in the state Assembly who think regionally."

From Mountain View, Mayor Jac Siegel also spoke at the event.

"Evan's commitment to protecting the environment and promoting safe, healthy and sustainable communities is unmatched," Siegel said in a release. "Communities like Mountain View need leaders in the state Assembly who understand how to balance protecting the environment while not sacrificing economic growth."
