Susan and staff
I believe in making Santa Clara County the best place to raise a family. My priorities include behavioral and mental health, securing affordable and accessible childcare, an equitable justice system, and affordable housing. I'm heavily involved in the County budget process and believe in an accountable, transparent government.
My name is Susan Ellenberg—I am the president of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and the elected representative of District 4. I work with a variety of state, city, federal and nonprofit stakeholders to help improve the lives of our community.
