Easy free money and a notch on her political career of living off the government like most politicians and I’m not referring to the pay but the political kickbacks etc
She is also an immigrant. True American dream story. Foster City in 2020 census is now majority 52% Asian. 2019 estimate was way low. Richa provides thoughtful focused leadership. Way to go Richa!!
@@mason5540 the last three years in town. On multiple fronts she has taken thoughtful approaches, worked towards moderate positions, frequent compromise, and has been growing in regional reputation which helps the city get visibility. Further she has taken a frequently fiscally conservative approach protecting reserves and being mindful to watch an control the growth of fixed costs
We need to be tough and clean up this Siri get rid of the homeless pay enough taxes to live here and we were very hard to be able to do that. You people who are in charge needs to do something about all the crime going on. It’s so sad that the Bay Area have gone to shit I wouldn’t live in the community but is spreading everywhere in California and we pay high taxes. You Democrats need to get your shit together this needs to stop
Imagine being so obsessed with race or color of skin that you will not spend a second talking about the new public servant's plans wrt economic development or whatever else happens to be the constituents' concerns. Only in Commiefornia.
The story actually uses old data. Foster City according to the 2020 census is now over 52% Asian, a 6% flip from the 2019 estimates by the Fed's at the Census.
I THOUGHT WE DID NOT JUDGE SOMEONE BY THEIR SKIN COLOR BUT THE CONTENT OF THIER CHARACTER!!??!!??!!??!!??! Why is EVERYTHING seen the lens of RACE TODAY??????? If you are QUALIFIED THEN YOU GET THE JOB, of you are NOT QUALIFIED the NO JOB FOR YOU!!!!! If we keep on insisting on the ONLY QUALIFICATION IS RACE, then NOTHING WILL END WELL FOR ANYONE……… Airline pilot are you a certain race- YES YOU HAVE THE JOB When the plane CRASHES & the reason is the person WAS NOT A QUALIFIED PILOT WHO IS AT FAULT??????
You shouldn't be happy about 1st woman being pick if anything to be ashamed because of how she is the first in the towns history. It's funny how people say how racist the south is but actually the real ignorance and racism is here in California
So sick of virtue signaling, how about finding solutions to actual problems instead of using race and gender as a crutch... By the way, that rock in the window was a act of vandalism and not a hate crime, you are not a victim!
@@teneleven2818 Hi there - as far as I understand it, five people are elected by our City to the city council. Then those councilmembers rotate being mayor. After a mayor’s term is up, the vice mayor typically becomes the mayor, but sometimes there are different circumstances (if a vice mayor chooses not to rerun for election.) I'm a layperson at best, so some details I shared may be incorrect. I think there are cities throughout the Bay Area Peninsula that have the same processes for city council elections and mayoral appointments. Hope this is helpful, but maybe someone can correct anything I got wrong or missed.
@@pheebkat to be honest this way of installing a mayor is the first I heard of at least in this country. It’s still like a democracy(direct one) but people don’t vote in a mayor directly. In the past, democracies didn’t always allow people to vote for whatever reasons those in power established.
@@teneleven2818 In our county (San Mateo County) we have many small cities. Foster City is ~35K people. Somewhere like NYC or SF they are much larger cities and their mayors are elected directly & function as the person who runs the city full time. In smaller cities, most are run through the city manager process where the council is elected, they function like a corprate board of directors and the Chairman/President is elected by their peers for ceremonial duties and to run the meetings. The City Manager is functionally the CEO of the city and handles the day to day. All but one city in San Mateo County operate this way.
lol, she's learned well - already started with the victim mentality on day 1. It's not like she's a special snowflake either - I've lived in Silicon Valley and it felt like a mix of New Delhi and Shanghai. The town I lived in was over 80% Asian.
Well that's imaginary history. She is the 6th female mayor so ok she is of color that's 👍. Foster city is 34k residents probably smallest city in bay area
women of colors, minority, how about get a person who is best qualified for the job regardless off all that BS.
@minhTran -- shut up!!! you are too logical and smart for the bay area.
Like Biden ?
Don’t care if your Woman or Man. Black or White. Are you going to do the job? Or just be on the take like everyone else?
make sure she don't give out FREE needles
You're the mayor of Foster City. Honestly, what do you plan on changing?
There’s a lot of geese…..🤷🏻♂️
They want to further change the demographics
The last reason I would want anyone to vote for me is because they felt sorry for me because of my race and gender.
It’s ploy. Only gullible liberals fall for that nonsense but certain groups use that to get their way.
What authority does a ceremonial mayor have?
Well at the very least, she is now part of the do nothing bureaucracy of that small town.
@@milesmayhem5440 : 🤣 Exactly. Doing nothing other than filling diversity checkboxes.

Hard to get excited about any government bureaucrat even if she is a foreigner.
Based on what track record

She sure seems set on getting "minority women" into her plan. How about just the best qualified person regardless of sex or race?

Cool story bro. What’s next? Gas and Rent and overall cost of living still high.
Another glass ceiling has been shattered.
If She’s Libs sorry Foster City. Worst happened same with other Libs cities.
Just look at San Francisco see how it’s going for them😆😆😆🤡
Why does a person's sex or ethnicity even matter?
Imagine winning just because of your skin color... how embarrassing
@@jeremyelliott9831 no, the comment is spot on. I’m a woman and would never want to be given a job or promotion because of my gender.
@@jeremyelliott9831 how’s it working out Kamala?
Lol ok jokes 😂
To be honest I don’t think that’s the case entirely. The council who voted her in seem to comprise of her same background. Tribalism at work.
LITERALLY NOBODY CARES ABOUT IDENTITY POLITICS
Its the Bay Area. Perceived identity is all that matters.
That’s all that anyone cares about when so many vote by race alone
So her first statement as mayor is that Foster City is racist.
I mean she answered their questions and they compiled the video. The first thing she probably said was hello.
It's majority Asian so yeah it probably is racist
Congratulations Mayor awasthi. Just don’t succumb to jihadi propaganda
Amazing 🙌❤️
She's a Hack
Yada yada yada
SHE IS NOT A FUCKING HACK!!!!!

Do you understand she was elected to council in 2018?
Nobody voted lol 😂
They said she’s appointed. She wasn’t voted in

Who the hell cares.
Only the woke cares

A victim of vandalism maybe.
There’s a new dictator in town
Watch the town turn to crap
Congrats to the mayor!
Was there an election or was it by appointment? Not sure how Foster City works.
Hi Han, Mayors are first elected by the community to the Council.
Councilmembers rotate being Mayor and are appointed by the other Councilmembers.
@@pheebkat so people don’t vote in a mayor there ? And it’s nakedly shown as an insiders rule. I guess there’s more transparency in its corruption

Awesome!
no one cares

Too many Asians
Oh well 🤷🏻♀️ Here’s a cup for your tears ☕️ Have a good day!
