Jamie Yee Running To Represent Pleasanton District 3

PLEASANTON, CA — Longtime Pleasanton Unified School District board member Jamie Yee is running to represent Pleasanton’s newly-formed District 3 on the City Council.

Yee has lived in Pleasanton since 1969, and was elected senior class president of Foothill High School. She continued her service to Pleasanton schools by serving on the PUSD Board from 2008 to 2020, and served twice as president. She also served on the board’s interview panel, and its audit, facilities and policy committees, and represented the board to the city’s Economic Vitality Commission from 2013 to 2020.

“Let's pay attention and make certain we have a voice focused on protecting Pleasanton's quality of life, supporting public safety efforts, meaningful collaboration with the school district, support local small businesses, fiscal sustainability, and balancing modern city needs while safeguarding the character of Main Street,” Yee said of her priorities.

Yee also called the current city council “dysfunctional.”

"Pleasanton is a wonderful, vibrant and caring community. We deserve a council that works together to benefit the community it serves,” she said. “The current council is not truly representative of our community, and the dysfunction it represents is harmful to the future of our hometown. Decisions made by the City Council today will affect the rest of our lives. We must have a voice. I have the desire, courage, and experience to bring people together to get things right and ensure we have a voice, and the success of the city continues."

Yee is a current member of Pleasanton’s Civic Arts Commission and co-chair of the Tri-Valley Chapter of the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association. She is a founding member of the Pleasanton PTA Council, organized the first Health and Wellness PA committee, and served eight years on the California State PTA’s Board of Managers. She also served on task forces for the California Department Department of Education, and the board of the Tri-Valley Regional Occupational Program.

Yee is currently a program and communications manager for the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Director. She has worked for the Alameda County Health Services Agency since 2007 and worked with a number of community organizations on public health initiatives.

She has been endorsed by former Pleasanton Councilmember Arne Olson and Foothill High School ASB President Derek Dressler.
