EAST BAY FOR EVERYONE ENDORSES JAMES MAES FOR MAYOR OF SAN LEANDRO

SAN LEANDRO, CA — Today, regional advocacy organization East Bay for Everyone officially announced its endorsement of James Maes for Mayor of San Leandro in the upcoming November 3, 2026 election.

East Bay for Everyone, a leading voice for housing abundance, equitable transit, and sustainable urban planning across Alameda and Contra Costa counties, cited Maes’s commitment to housing affordability and walkable, transit-oriented communities as key drivers behind the endorsement.

“When you talk to residents across San Leandro, the message is clear: people want to be able to afford to live in the city they love and move around safely without relying on a car for every single errand,” said James Maes. “East Bay for Everyone gets that. They aren’t just talking about abstract planning goals; they’re doing the hard work to make sure working families, teachers, and future generations actually have a place here. I’m thrilled to have their partnership as we build a San Leandro that works for everyone.”

The endorsement adds strong momentum to Maes’s grassroots campaign, which focuses on sustainable growth, vibrant commercial corridors, and community-driven leadership.
