Ellen Kamei
Mountain View leaders celebrated city achievements and residents’ perseverance through a trying 2020 as the city council Jan. 12 appointed a new mayor and vice mayor, and welcomed two newly elected council members.
During the ceremonial virtual meeting, the council unanimously appointed Ellen Kamei mayor for 2021 and Lucas Ramirez vice mayor. Ramirez, taking note that six of the seven members are now women, quipped that he regretted “being the obstacle” to an all-female council.
Praise went to outgoing mayor Margaret Abe-Koga – who was re-elected to another four years on the council in November – and outgoing council members Chris Clark and John McAlister. Both offered farewell remarks on their eight years on the council. Abe-Koga said it was “hard not to get emotional” as she said goodbye to her departing colleagues.
