Howard Wettan brings nearly two decades of civic engagement to his campaign to represent District 3 on the Burlingame City Council. Having served ten years on the city’s Traffic Safety and Parking Commission, and spent six chairing the school district’s Bond Oversight Committee, he has extensive experience marshaling municipal resources to secure Burlingame’s future and improve the day-to-day lives of its current residents.

Howard recognizes the role climate-change mitigation measures have to play in both endeavors, particularly in limiting the risk of climate-related natural disasters. As a city councilmember, Howard would seek to:
