Barry’s priorities for
Cupertino City Councilmember:
Having served eight years as a Cupertino City Councilmember and as Mayor in 2016, Barry has the experience and leadership skills to lead. He is proud of approving the Apple Park Project and negotiating a 30% increase in Cupertino’s share of Apple’s sales tax revenue. This became the largest revenue source for Cupertino and was a win-win solution for both the city and Apple Inc.
With a master’s degree in Civil Engineering and a deep commitment to public health and safety, Barry has worked tirelessly for over 20 years to close Lehigh Southwest Cement Plant’s cement production in 2023. Cupertino residents now can enjoy cleaner air and cleaner water.
Due to the mismanagement of the 2018-2022 City Councils, Cupertino is facing a budget deficit, cuts to vital services, and the intrusion of multiunit housing into quiet neighborhoods like Scofield Dr. and Linda Vista Dr. Barry feels obligated to run again to bring Cupertino back on the right track—toward prosperity, harmony, and happiness.
When elected, Barry will focus on:
- Fiscal and policy responsibility
- Protecting public health and safety
- Increasing revenue and promoting community harmony
- Expanding services for residents, including senior services.
