I am excited to announce that I was appointed to the MV City Council last night! I am so thankful for the all the support that I have received & grateful to the council for this opportunity!
There is so much I want to say, but I will take some time to gather my thoughts.
At its Monday, Jan. 30 special meeting, the Mountain View City Council appointed Emily Ann Ramos to fill the vacant Council seat. The swearing-in of the new Councilmember is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 14 meeting.

A good face mask has at least two layers of material and fits snugly over your nose, mouth, and chin. These masks are NOT recommended:
🚫Neck gaiters (too loose or too thin)
🚫Masks with valves (allow unfiltered air to escape)
🚫Face shields without also wearing a face mask
ALT If each of us wears a mask, everyone is protected. You can make yours using two or more layers of common fabric, like cotton. Images: Improper masks such as neck gaiter and valved masks Images: Examples of proper standard masks

Repeat: we support the heroes. Thanks @iGregoryJohnson for laying out that vision! @codeforamerica
As a civic technologist, we aren't the heroes. We support the heroes on the ground and in the cloud.
The vision is Gov't and NGOs that work for the people in the digital age. Thanks to all the continued supporters.
