The quality of many of the candidates in District 16, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by better than 3-1, is impressive. For us though, it came down to two of the best-known and highly regarded political veterans, former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.
Watching Liccardo up close during his 16 years of leadership as a member of the San Jose City Council and then as the city's mayor, we saw his indefatigable energy and a long string of policy accomplishments.
