Council’s Budget and Finance Committee, Local Agencies Committee (with representatives from the School and Recreation Districts) and serves as the City’s delegate to StopWaste and

bringing in diverse perspectives and giving voice to businesses, neighborhood and faith
leaders, as well as students, parents, teachers and other community stakeholders into the
decisions being made at City Hall. On the City Council, she has championed efforts to
increase government accountability and transparency, by leading the practice of including
public comment periods during work sessions and releasing agenda packets and documents to
the public earlier for their access and review.
Sara is committed to making Hayward an Environmental and Sustainability Leader that is
prepared to take on the challenges of the future. On City Council, Sara is proud to have a 100%
voting record to increase renewable energy in our City to reduce our city’s carbon footprint.

affordable communities for every Hayward resident and has voted to restore critical services,
improve traffic safety, and modernize outdated equipment and departments.
As a long time mentor and volunteer to students of all ages, Sara believes in improving
Hayward schools, expanding career awareness, and increasing business opportunities.

colleges, and non-profit programs. Even more, Sara has worked to build consensus with the
business community, to streamline the permitting process and improve services for local
business owners.

She also graduated with honors from CSU Hayward with a Masters in Health Care
Administration in 2006. Sara Lamnin is a graduate of several leadership training programs
