Environmental, housing groups endorse

City council candidates Nick Galiotto, Laura Macias and Stephanie Schaaf were endorsed by the Santa Clara County League of Conservation Voters (LCV). League board member and former Mountain View planning commissioner Pat Showalter said the three candidates the group is endorsing have best demonstrated their commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment.

The Tri-County Apartment Association also made endorsements last week, and likewise endorsed only three candidates for the four open seats. Galiotto, Macias and Mayor Matt Pear garnered the group's backing.
