Two candidates make it official
As of press time, Saratoga had two official
candidates for the Nov. 5 election of three
city council members.
Mayor Nick Streit and challenger Andrew
Barnes each filed papers and paid fees last
week to prepare for the election season. Also
last week, two more individuals retrieved
papers for runs of their own—John Keenan and
Kathleen King. They join incumbent Councilman
John Mehaffey and newcomers Rick Kumar and
Vino Malhotra, who have also taken the forms.
Vice Mayor Evan Baker, also up for
reelection, has not yet retrieved the forms.
The deadline to file the forms is Aug. 9.
However, if all the incumbents do not file
the forms to run for reelection, then the
filing deadline is extended to Aug. 14.
For more information, call City Clerk
Cathleen Boyer at 408.868.1269.

Celebration! plans continue
The Saratoga Chamber of Commerce is getting
ready for this year's Celebrate Saratoga!

a piece of the action.

She's the winner of the Chamber's contest for
its poster design, which will feature her
watercolor of the Chamber office and Saratoga
