First to announce for San Mateo City Council for District 1 is Lisa Diaz Nash. District includes Baywood and Hayward Park. At her campaign opening, well attended by some neighbors and elected officials, you might say she has no viable competition. She hopes to fill the seat currently held by Councilmember Eric Rodriguez, a friend and supporter. In addition to Rodriguez, state Sen. Josh Becker, D-San Mateo; San Mateo Deputy Mayor Diane Papan; Millbrae Councilmember Gina Papan; Foster City Mayor Richa Awasthi; and longtime Democratic activist Mike Aydelott from San Carlos, were present.
