Building Smarter Communities At Smart City CA USA, our mission revolves around fostering innovative urban environments and strengthening the connections
At Smart City CA USA, our mission revolves around fostering innovative urban environments and strengthening the connections that make our communities thrive. This commitment extends to recognizing and supporting leaders who embody a vision for effective, community-focused governance.
Recently, our team, including Richard Wong, was deeply engaged with the Asia Society Northern California’s “4 Consuls – Global Connections” panel. This event powerfully underscored how strong global ties are built on robust local engagement and the strategic deployment of soft power. It’s precisely this kind of insightful, locally-driven leadership that we believe is vital for the future of Santa Clara County.
It’s in this spirit that we’ve been following the campaign of Neysa Fligor, candidate for Santa Clara County Assessor. Neysa’s campaign emphasizes her deep understanding of the Assessor’s office, its critical importance to the community, and the qualifications she brings to the role.
Her candidacy has garnered significant support from respected figures, including an endorsement from the current Assessor, Hon. Larry Stone, and former San Jose Vice Mayor Chappie Jones. These endorsements speak volumes about her readiness to serve the community with integrity and expertise.
We were particularly pleased to see the positive engagement around Neysa’s campaign on social media. Vincent McDowell’s recent Facebook post, which you can view here: highlighted Neysa’s strong momentum. Pravision, a partner in smart urban solutions, also commented: “Fantastic to see Neysa Fligor’s campaign gaining such strong momentum! Her commitment to effective leadership and community connection truly aligns with the vision for smart, well-managed urban environments. Richard Wong was tagged in this post, highlighting the important conversations happening around impactful public service. Let’s support leaders ready to work for our communities! #VoteNeysa #SantaClaraCounty #SmartCityCAUSA #CommunityLeadership #PublicService.”
We invite you to a unique opportunity to hear directly from Neysa Fligor about her vision, values, and priorities for Santa Clara County. This event is a chance to engage with a leader who is ready to make a tangible difference in our local governance.
