Dear Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,

I am a resident of District 8 and an active member of the Evergreen community. I have known Sukhdev S. Bainiwal for many years, and he has been a community volunteer for over 20 years. His passion for serving the community has been instilled in him by his family values. Growing up around Mr.

Bainiwal has had a very positive impact on my own life, encouraging me to be comfortable and proud of my identity as a turban-wearing man. Mr.

Bainiwal inspired me to seek opportunities and reminded me that I should not be limited simply because of my identity, and I have held this lesson close as I progressed through my career. Much like myself, the youth of the Sikh community look up to Sukhdev S. Bainiwal, and aspire to serve the community in the same way. He has worked very hard in the community during the unprecedented times of COVID, natural disasters, and in general in the community. He has organized hot meal services, blanket drives for the needy, multicultural events, and collaborated with many non-profits.

Please support Sukhdev Singh Bainiwal for City Council District 8 Appointment.

Sincerely Yours,
Jasdeep Singh

Subject: Support an appointment process guided by the values of a broad and vibrant democracy

San Jose City Clerk Toni Taber,
I am writing in regard to the appointment process to fill San José Districts 8 and 10.

As a San José resident, it’s clear to me that our city is currently at a critical juncture, in dire need of resources and solutions for public safety, parks, and vital infrastructure. The people of San José are ready to work together with our neighbors and our communities to build a better city!
As you decide who will represent District 8 and 10 on our city council, I urge you to consider leaders that truly represent our broad and vibrant democracy and can deliver good jobs, accessible housing for all, safer neighborhoods, and the prosperity that we all dream of for our families and communities.

I stand alongside a broad coalition of partners from labor, community, and multi-ethnic organizations in supporting a process that would lead to genuine representation for our communities.

Sam Saiu
San Jose, California 95122
