Large Field Fights For City Council Seats

Seven candidates will battle for just two available seats, including one being vacated by a long-time public servant.


A crowded pack of candidates is vying for two seats on the Milpitas City Council this November.

The ballot was finalized Monday.

Vice Mayor Pete McHugh, a long time local politician, is not seeking re-election to his position. He ran for a state assembly seat but failed to make the November ballot.

Current Councilwoman and local real estate broker Debbie Giordano is seeking re-election. She'll be challenged by six newcomers.
