Campaign website
Hughes' campaign website stated the following:
Affordability: Keeping San José Affordable
Rising costs are driving families out and making it harder than ever to build a future in San José. Scott will cut unnecessary delays and support smart, well-planned development near transit and jobs, while preserving the character of our neighborhoods, so teachers, first responders, and seniors can continue to call San José home.
Homelessness: Delivering Real Results
Scott will deliver lasting, compassionate solutions to homelessness through strong partnerships that improve effectiveness and efficiency. Scott will ensure that our shelter system helps people move toward independence by strengthening coordination with Santa Clara County and demanding accountability from nonprofits that receive public dollars.
Quality of Life: Solutions for a Safe & Clean San José
Scott will prioritize our neighborhoods, parks, and libraries. Scott will increase police staffing for faster emergency response, because our residents deserve a safe city. Through data-driven decisions and community-centered action, we can create a San José that’s cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant for everyone.
