Topics getting the most attention in Redwood City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Election Ballot Distribution
Get ready to vote! Your ballot for the June 2nd primary election is being mailed out soon. Don't miss the May 18th deadline to register if you haven't already.
Building Electrification
Redwood City's mayor is joining a push to power new buildings with electricity instead of fossil fuels. This could mean cleaner air and a move away from gas hookups in future construction.
County Redistricting Commission Ballot Measure
Measure U asks San Mateo County voters to strip politicians of the power to redraw county district maps and give it to an independent commission. It’s a county ballot measure, but it affects how much say Redwood City residents have in county elections for years.
County Ballot Measure on Filling Elected Office Vacancies
San Mateo County’s Measure J would give officials more time to fill vacancies in elected offices. It’s a county charter change, not a Redwood City measure, but it can shape how quickly local seats get filled—so it’s worth watching when you vote.
