Episode 14: County Assessor Special Election
Join host Ellina Yin and Guest David Ginsborg, as we unpack the upcoming Special Election for Santa Clara County Assessor on November 4. This episode breaks down who’s running, what each candidate stands for, and why this often-overlooked office plays a critical role in how property taxes fund our schools, cities, and public services. We’ll also address circulating misinformation, clarify what’s fact versus fiction, and help you make sense of what’s truly at stake in this election.
