We welcome Susan Candell as Lafayette’s new Mayor. Susan was sworn in at the December City Council Meeting. Susan grew up in Orinda and after her college years at Berkeley and MIT, she came back to Lamorinda and settled here in Lafayette over 20 years ago. She has volunteered for many non-profits including Children’s Hospital, LPIE, the Lafayette Community Foundation and, for the last three years, the Lafayette City Council.

Mayor Candell's priorities for Lafayette in 2021 include the new General Plan for the City, state housing mandates and public safety.
