Rental Housing Committee vice-chair Emily Ann Ramos to replace Sally Lieber on Mountain View city council
MOUNTAIN VIEW — City leaders appointed a pro-housing candidate with a history of supporting rent control and tenant protections to the city council, a victory for the council’s progressive block.
Ramos will be Mountain View’s only Filipino member and is the second renter on the council along with Councilmember Lucas Ramirez. During Monday’s council meeting, she received overwhelming support from people calling to comment on the council seat appointment. Ramos plans to bring her experience on that committee — which includes managing an independent budget and weighing legal matters in closed session — to the council and continue her work advocating for renters. She called her strategy for dealing with land-use decisions the “Three Ps.”
“I think if we want to work on innovative programs we need to center them on the needs of the people we want to help,” Ramos said. “If we think about innovating these types of programs we should have the patience and take the time to figure out why it didn’t work out.
