Redwood City Mayor Giselle Hale will go up against San Mateo Vice Mayor Diane Papan in the November run-off for the Peninsula assembly district.
REDWOOD CITY — In the contest to replace Kevin Mullin in the California Assembly, Mayor Giselle Hale will go head to head against Diane Papan in the November runoff.
The race for Mullin’s seat came in the wake of political shifting among Peninsula politicos after U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier said in 2020 that she would retire. Speier’s announcement prompted Mullin — whose previous district now is part of the new District 21 due to redistricting — to run for her congressional seat.
Hale noted that despite a more conservative primary electorate, and $1.3 million being spent on behalf of her opponents by “conservative corporate PACs funded in part by big oil and PG&E,” Papan was still not able to get a majority of the vote to avoid a run-off. Meanwhile, Papan celebrated her current two-to-one lead and told this news organization that she’s confident she will maintain it to reach Sacramento.
Papan also is the director of John’s Closet, a Peninsula nonprofit that provides clothing for needy school-age children from Daly City to Millbrae.
