Salwan, a licensed veterinarian, has served on Fremont’s city council for over a decade: he was appointed to his first term in 2013. The candidate, who grew up in Fremont, has also served on his home town’s Human Relations Commission, the Planning Commission, and twice as Vice Mayor.
He is being challenged for the mayoral seat by fellow city council member Vinnie Bacon. Salwan's campaign emphasizes his proven track record of effective leadership, particularly in areas such as public safety, traffic congestion reduction, infrastructure investment, and enhancing the quality of life for Fremont residents.
"As Fremont Mayor, Raj Salwan will work collaboratively with our city council to lead our city and get more things done for the benefit of Fremont residents," reads a statement from his campaign.
“ Career politicians tell you what you want to hear or tweet about it, but don’t follow through to make it happen. They avoid the hard work of policy making and collaboration to get things done. However, I will roll up my sleeves and dedicate myself to working hard for ALL Fremont residents,” Salwan said in a statement announcing his bid.
