The article highlights Antonio Lopez's candidacy for the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors in the East Palo Alto district, emphasizing his successful fundraising efforts. However, some critics argue that Lopez's contributions to East Palo Alto have been limited to clout chasing and selling poetry books. Additionally, it's noted that he identifies as a Muslim and aligns himself with socialist ideals. As the race for the supervisor seat unfolds, it will be interesting to see how these factors play into the campaign and the voters' decisions.

East Palo Alto is so poorly run and dysfunctional. Why would we want that leadership on a larger scale?

Don't let the slick video fool you. Antonio is a phony flip flopper that has not done much good for the city of East Palo Alto. The city is poorly run so it's laughable that he's running on infrastructure and housing. Most notably though, Antonio opposed OPA (Opportunity to Purchase Act) all of last year, publicly (on the record) calling it symbolic and a high gamble with a modest payoffs. But, during the final vote yesterday (Nov 7 2023), shortly after submitting his San Mateo County Board of Supervisors candidacy, he voted yes. This was against MAJOR homeowner opposition (think 10:1 against this policy). I guess he needed to create a paper trail for his 'impact'. Think twice before voting for him. He is a self serving politician and would be a disaster for the county.
