A little taste of Cuba right here in Palo Alto. ☕

If you have not stopped by La Bodeguita, it is one of those neighborhood spots that reminds you how special local businesses really are. The atmosphere feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, and it is the kind of place where friends gather, conversations linger, and the community shows up.

Places like this are part of what makes living here so meaningful. Supporting small businesses keeps the character of our town vibrant and connected.

Have you visited La Bodeguita yet, or do you have a favorite dish there?

Stop by, bring a friend, and experience one of Palo Alto’s local gems.

The heartbeat of Palo Alto is female. 💡

From the small business owners on University Ave to the tech pioneers in our boardrooms, I’m constantly inspired by the women in this city who lead with both grit and grace.

When women thrive, we all rise. Happy International Women’s Day to the trailblazers making an impact right here in our backyard. 🌸

Sharing a reminder to vote from Neysa Fligor, who is running for Santa Clara County Assessor. 🗳️
Local elections play an important role in how our communities function, and staying informed is part of being an engaged community member.

This election is not about one party. It is about participation, responsibility, and showing up for our entire country, starting locally. If you are registered to vote in Santa Clara County, take a moment to review your ballot and be sure it is returned on time.
