i can’t get over how there’s an incredible plan in Chelsea (my neighborhood!) to rebuild NYCHA housing much denser, using the revenue from new mixed income housing to give every single existing NYCHA tenant a brand new, permanently affordable home… and of course rich NIMBYs are trying to stop it

Whether it’s planting trees, cleaning up our streets and creeks, or getting people out of their cars by making walking safer and transit more efficient, I love that my work as your councilmember doesn’t just make for a better city. I get to work with neighbors like you to make a healthier planet. 🌎

I have done a lot of work to fast-track much-needed housing, and through that work I have seen another area in desperate need of streamlining: transportation projects to increase bicycle and pedestrian safety.

I’m proud to be endorsed by @sccdp.bsky.social! I’m grateful for their continued support as I continue to fight for a safer, more affordable, and more vibrant San José.

In the Bay Area, electrifying rail made trains faster, cleaner, and more frequent, cutting emissions and boosting ridership 🚆⚡This is what investing in local transit looks like. 🌎 #ClimateAction #CleanTransit  @d4sanjose.bsky.social @anthonytordillos.bsky.social @charleneforoakland.bsky.social

Thank you to Operating Engineers Local 3 for your continued support! I grew up in a working class family and I’m committed to being a councilmember our working families can count on.

A UCLA researcher found U.S. building codes lack cost-benefit analysis and accumulate rules without removing them. The result: mid-rise buildings cost 55% more per square foot than single-family homes — a gap other wealthy countries don't see. cayimby.org/blog/shining...

As we mourn the loss of Rod Diridon Sr., I know that many of us are reflecting on his legacy as a public transit icon here in Santa Clara County. I wanted to share something about him many of you may not know.

I’m proud to be endorsed by UA Local 393! My working-class upbringing taught me the importance of having a government that works for working people. I’m grateful to have UA Local 393 in my corner as I continue my fight to be a councilmember you can count on.

The Kelsey is an affordable housing developer fighting for more inclusive and accessible housing options, and their very first project was right here in downtown San José! Excited to see them leaning into elevator reform, which will make new housing both cheaper & more accessible. Details below!

We turned out loud and proud in the heart of District 3 today because in San José, we have #NoKings! ❌ 👑 While you’re out here, make sure to sign the Connect Bay Area Transit petition to save Bay Area transit! 🚌 🚊 🚎 connectbayarea.com

James Talarico, who just received the Democratic nomination for US Senate from Texas, was the lead sponsor of last session's successful single stair bill in the Texas House.

I’m excited to share that I've once again been endorsed by the Silicon Valley Asian Pacific American Democratic Club (SVAPADC)! I'm proud to have made history as San José's first Filipino-American councilmember and I'm looking forward to continuing to provide proud AAPI representation in San José.

Last Tuesday at City Council was Housing Day! Let’s take a look at some of the legislation we passed to help build more housing here in San José. But we still have a lot more work to do to address our housing affordability crisis! Sign up for updates at bit.ly/TordillosHousing

Sending strength and solidarity to the people of Minneapolis. What’s happening there isn’t about immigration or safety — it’s an abuse of federal power.

I joined the Rapid Response Network in solidarity with Minneapolis. What happened was not law enforcement or self-defense – it was unchecked violence, backed by the federal government. Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. She should have been able to go home to her partner and children. (1/3)

I’m running for a full four-year term in 2026! We’ve gotten a lot done in just four months in office, but I’m just getting started. Our first fundraising deadline is on December 31st, so I’d be incredibly grateful for whatever you could contribute at anthonyforsanjose.com/donate.

My statement on today’s tragedy during the Hannukah celebrations in Bondi Beach, Australia.

Spent my Saturday morning with the Japantown Neighborhood Association! Thank you to everyone who joined us today to help keep the neighborhood, park, and playground clean and safe for everyone to enjoy.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining @svyoungdems.bsky.social for their fall fundraiser. It’s not an exaggeration to say that their support out at the doors was critical to my campaign’s wins this year. (1/2)

PODCAST: Just weeks after taking office, San Jose Councilmember Anthony Tordillos (@anthonyforsanjose.bsky.social) sits down with editor Nick Preciado to discuss his historic election, policy ideas and priorities for the downtown district. 🎧 Listen here: na2.hubs.ly/H012B4L0

Happy Silicon Valley PRIDE! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Here’s to celebrating 50 years of love, legacy, and liberation! Marching through the heart of downtown, I can’t help be proud of the opportunity I have to provide proud queer representation on the dais here in San José.

California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.

I had the pleasure of taking part in @victoryinstitute.bsky.social’s LGBTQ+ Public Leadership Summit. In spite of the political climate nationally and the local context why we held a special election, I knew how important it was to have openly queer representation on the ballot. (1/2)

As I wrap up my first day on San José City Council, I wanted thank everyone who made today possible. I wouldn’t be sitting on the dais, serving the residents of District 3, without your support. (1/2)

It’s time to get to work! I’ll be sworn in first thing Tuesday morning. If you can’t make it in person, you can watch the livestream on YouTube at 9:30 am on August 12 by visiting bit.ly/TordillosOath.

Loved spending time across D3 for National Night Out! I was able to make it out to the St. James Neighborhood, McKinley Bonita, Goodyear Mastic, Japantown, Naglee Park, and Guadalupe Washington. It was so grounding to spend time with neighbors before I take office next week.
