Through his work on regional boards and committees such as Association of Bay Area Governments, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and Cities Association of Santa Clara County, he has earned a reputation regionally for building bridges by delivering results and resources to other Bay Area cities.
Anthony's leadership also extends to the national level, having been appointed by President Barack Obama to serve as a Board Member of the US Selective Service System, an agency responsible for making tough decisions affecting national security during wartime.
Prior to being elected to the City Council, Anthony started the UAW Tesla campaign in Fremont to ensure what happened to GM and Toyota factory workers at the NUUMI plant in 2010 never happens again and that these workers, who make up our diverse community, can thrive in our shared regional economy.
Anthony was born and raised in San José, California.- Invest in affordable housing to address regional housing crisis
- Expand quality healthcare access and fight poverty
- Take urgent action on climate change and reduce carbon footprint on our environment
