Members of PACT from all over the city will present the five major 
mayoral candidates with a vision for the future of San Jose in the form 
of a covenant with the people. The candidates will be asked to sign 
their commitment to each of the six key issues listed as part of the 
covenant:

1). Finding a new source of revenue to keep our community centers open 
and our parks safe

2). Building 6,000 units of affordable housing, 2,000 of these 
accessible to working families

3). Changing the City’s policy to specify that 30% of the City¹s 
affordable housing funding goes to build housing for those in the 
extremely low income category (example: Family of four earning 
$31,000/yr or less)

4). Opening an Office of Public School Choice, which would support the 
opening of new schools of choice in San Jose, including 
district-sponsored small autonomous schools and charter schools.

5). Piloting an extended school day program in three of the City¹s 
lowest performing districts.

6). Making San Jose a ‘sanctuary city’, where local law enforcement does 
not act as immigration agents.
Bring your family and show your support for PACT’s covenant with the 
people! Let’s make sure our next mayor is keeping his or her priorities 
focused on the needs of families in San Jose. This event is for 
educational purposes only. PACT does not endorse candidates.
