Sunnyvale’s historic shift: Female-led diversity on city council reflects community

The Sunnyvale City Council is about to see a demographic shift that will make its representation more reflective of the city’s population.

The city will have a female majority on council with the election of Eileen Le in District 6 and Charlsie Chang in District 4, along with Councilmember Alysa Cisneros’ reelection in District 2 and sitting Councilmember Linda Sell. The city will also have its first Asian American majority, with Le and Chang alongside Sell and Vice Mayor Murali Srinivasan bringing a new dimension to the council.
