Police Chief Pat Nikolai
By actively participating in my Chief's Advisory Committee, Kelly has demonstrated a keen understanding of public safety issues.
I believe that she will make public safety a priority for Santa Clara and she has my complete support.
Jeremy Schmidt, POA President
The Santa Clara Police Officers Association is proud to endorse Kelly Cox for City Council.
We were struck by her intellect and common sense approach to the issues the City is facing.
We are certain she will put your families and your neighborhoods first.
She will be a strong voice that is not beholden to anyone.
Anthony Pascoal, Santa Clara IAFF 1171 President
As firefighters, we understand the critical need for leadership that prioritizes the well-being of our community. In Kelly Cox, we see someone who not only shares our values of integrity, strength, and unwavering commitment to public safety but embodies them in her actions. After speaking with Kelly, it’s clear she is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to Santa Clara and its future. She is fully committed to ensuring our city remains safe and beautiful for generations, always putting residents first, no matter the outside pressures.
She represents the kind of leadership our city desperately needs right now, and we believe in her ability to lead us toward a better future.
