Stop Flock Cameras
Say no to Flock surveillance cameras and automatic license-plate tracking that turns ordinary trips into permanent records. Public safety should not require giving up basic privacy.
MODESTO CITY COUNCIL
Block by Block.
For Modesto.
I am Jared Sylvia, a neighborhood-focused candidate running for City Council to protect privacy, reject data-center giveaways, keep public spaces clean, promote Housing First policies, and put locally owned businesses ahead of outside interests.
Focused on the everyday issues Modesto residents share: privacy, clean public spaces, housing stability, and a local economy that works for locals.
What Neighbors Keep Bringing Up
Modesto deserves clear boundaries: protect residents from unnecessary surveillance, reject projects that burden the city, and invest in people, neighborhoods, and locally owned businesses.
No Data Center Giveaway
Modesto should not absorb the traffic, land use, water, and infrastructure burden of data centers. They do not offer enough public benefit to justify the cost, and the city should say no.
Clean Parks and Public Spaces
Keep parks, sidewalks, walking paths, lights, and public facilities clean, safe, and usable with regular upkeep, working amenities, and visible accountability for the basics.
Housing First Response
Stanislaus County counted 2,052 people experiencing homelessness in 2024, including 980 who were unsheltered, and local reporting on the PIT data says rent increases and evictions are a leading driver. Housing First means getting people indoors first, then making treatment and support easier to actually stick. County dashboard Local PIT summary Housing First explainer How it worked in Utah
Local Businesses First
Put city purchasing, incentives, permits, and public support behind locally owned businesses before non-local businesses and outside interests. Keep wages, ownership, and opportunity in Modesto.
Office Hours
Local government should feel reachable, informal, and close to home.
I want public service to be direct and accessible. I will hold regular office hours during the election where neighbors can stop by, raise concerns, and talk through what Modesto needs without appointments or ceremony. I want to hear directly what the public is most concerned about.
The spirit is simple: whenever the garage door is open at 1704 Dorset Lane, Modesto, CA 95355, you should feel free to come talk.
This is not a part-time job. I am committed to serving the community full-time, focusing on the needs and priorities of Modesto residents every single day.
Willing to listen to all opinions during the election and after. I'm here to represent the community and ensure that every voice is heard and considered in decision-making.
Ready to put in the work and take the role seriously every single day. I am committed to making a tangible difference in the community through consistent effort and dedication.
