Kathy Watanabe is the Vice Mayor of the City of Santa Clara and a sitting member of the Santa Clara City Council.[1] She was appointed to the council on March 7, 2016 by a vote of 4-2 by the then current council members, then won the city council election in November 2016 with 48% of the vote to keep her seat. There has been some criticism that the Santa Clara city council remains all white, however she is also the only councilmember representing the Northside of the city.[2][3] Kathy serves on the Downtown Revitalization Plan, Governance, Ethics, and Marketing committees.

On December 19, 2017, the Council unanimously voted for Kathy to serve as Vice Mayor for the City of Santa Clara for 2018.
