In their words

Malia Cohen, California State Controller

“Kimberley Williams brings proven leadership, sound judgment, and a deep commitment to public service. She knows how to turn community priorities into real results through responsible budgeting and thoughtful planning. I’m proud to support her for Santa Clara City Council.”

Michelle Wu, former Santa Clara Schools Foundation Student Fellow

“I’m honored to support Kimberley Williams in her campaign for Santa Clara City Council District 2 as a student who has learned so much from her mentorship and engagement within her role as a board member of the Santa Clara Schools Foundation. She truly goes above and beyond in empowering young leaders in the community. I have no doubt that she will continue to do the same for the entire City of Santa Clara by taking initiative on issues her constituents care most about.”

Paige Houle, former Santa Clara Schools Foundation Student Fellow

“As a student fellow with the Santa Clara Schools Foundation, I worked on major fundraising projects like the annual Farm to Table Dinner and a new poker tournament. Working with Kimberley, I couldn’t have had a more helpful or supportive mentor. Her knowledge of the area was vital for planning, and she thoughtfully prioritized the different needs of our community. It is clear to me that she cares deeply about the families in the Santa Clara School District and strongly supports the personal growth of myself and the other student fellows. I believe she will be just as hardworking and caring for Santa Clara residents as an elected city council member both for District 2 and for the city as a whole.”

Paige Houle Former Santa Clara Schools Foundation Student Fellow and Santa Clara High School student, Class of 2026

“Kimberley knows how to bring people together to solve complex issues. When the pandemic hit, there were no written rules and nobody knew what was needed, but Kimberley proved to be a fearless leader who stepped up and guided our schools’ PTA communities through the uncertainty with clarity and resolve. Her collaborative approach, which is rooted in listening first and building consensus, is what our neighborhoods need to move forward effectively. As a former SCUSD parent and a community leader, I have seen her impact firsthand, and I am proud to support her campaign for the City Council.”

Michelle Melendez, owner of Care-A-Lot Family Childcare

“As a longtime Santa Clara resident, mother, and woman small-business owner providing childcare to local families, I understand how important it is to have leaders who truly listen and understand the needs of working families. I first came to know Kimberley as a fellow soccer mom, and I have seen the same thoughtfulness, dedication, and community spirit that she will bring to the City Council. Kimberley cares deeply about Santa Clara and will work hard to keep it a place where families and small businesses can thrive. I’m proud to endorse Kimberley Williams for City Council.”

Michelle Melendez Owner, Care-A-Lot Family Childcare — Early Childhood Educator

“Our local is excited about the prospect of you becoming a Santa Clara Councilmember. We know that your past experiences will serve you well, and we also know that you will help champion issues that positively affect our members. There are many challenges ahead for our city, and we know that you will fight with us, as well as with the citizens of Santa Clara, for the betterment of our city.”
