Sam Jimenez For East Palo Alto City Council

Sam Jimenez is an East Palo Alto native, licensed plumber, and decorated U.S. Army Special Forces veteran (Green Beret). He is a husband, father, and small business owner who has dedicated his life to serving his community and his country.

Sam grew up in East Palo Alto and knows firsthand the challenges facing working families in our city — rising costs, lack of opportunity, and a need for strong, accountable leadership. He is running for City Council to bring a common-sense, results-driven approach to the issues that matter most.

As a Green Beret, Sam learned to solve complex problems with limited resources. As a plumber and small business owner, he understands the value of hard work and skilled trades. Sam will bring that same grit and determination to City Hall.
