Longtime Supervisor Scott Haggerty Decides Against Reelection Bid

PLEASANTON, CA — Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty will not seek reelection when his current four-year term ends in January 2021. Instead, the 62-year-old Livermore resident who represents District 1 will be taking life a little easier.

"He will have served for 24 years when he's done. It's a long time," said Haggerty's chief of staff Shawn Wilson. "He's looking forward to spending time with his family and not driving 300,000 miles a year."

In a tweet Thursday, Haggerty said, "It's been my privilege to serve #AlamedaCounty and the Bay Area Region over the last 23 years. It's been an incredible run. I can't adequately express in words my gratitude to all who have supported me through the years. Still so much to do in the next 18 mos!"

Haggerty was first elected to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in November of 1996 and is currently serving a sixth four-year term on the board. His district includes the cities of Livermore, Dublin, most of the city of Fremont and unincorporated areas of East Alameda County.

Haggerty has focused a great deal of his attention on the region's transportation issues, and in February he was unanimously elected to serve a two-year term as chair of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. He also serves on numerous other transportation boards and commissions.

Haggerty's district office is located in Pleasanton at 4501 Pleasanton Avenue.
