Rohan Marfatia for Alameda County Supervisor, District 2

Safer neighborhoods. Real homelessness solutions. Transparent county government.

I’m Rohan Marfatia, a proud father of boy-girl twins, husband and business leader. I’m running for Alameda County Supervisor to make county government work better for the people of District 2 — Hayward, Union City, Newark, and the Fremont neighborhoods in our district.

My focus is simple: improve public safety through prevention and faster crisis response, reduce homelessness with housing and treatment, and bring clear accountability to every county dollar.

It’s Time County Government Delivered Better Results!

Residents are tired of seeing the same problems drag on for too long. Too many people are still living on the streets. Families are still struggling to get help when they need it. And taxpayers still do not have a clear enough view of what is working, what is not, and where the money goes.

I’m running because Alameda County has real resources and real authority — but the results have not matched the need. District 2 deserves faster action, better implementation, and leadership that treats public service as a responsibility to solve problems, not explain them away.

My experience

Experience That Fits the Job

Community Problem-Solving
I have experience identifying community needs, organizing people around practical solutions, and working across institutions to move ideas into action. e.g. During COVID, I campaigned for additional children's play areas in Fremont while working with City officials like our elected council member and the Senior Landscape Architect/Parks Planning, while mobilizing residents. This project was included in the 2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. I’ve also served as VP of Communications on public school PTA, representing parents and teachers.

Management and Execution
As a business leader, I understand budgets, operations, accountability, and implementation — the same skills needed to oversee county departments, public contracts, and taxpayer-funded programs. In the 2024 Fremont mayoral race, I stood up for greater accountability in city government. Last year, I represented 195 California companies on Capitol Hill, helping secure key provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that support businesses financing over $180 billion in capital equipment annually.

Technology and Economic Change
I have worked at the intersection of technology, growth, and workforce change. I understand how layoffs, automation, and AI disruption can affect workers, families, and small businesses — and why county government needs to help people adapt, not get left behind. I've experience on smart city projects giving me valuable insights into state and city government operations. I've worked with various economic development teams across states to negotiate incentives, tax benefits and select locations for new tech centers, creating hundreds of jobs.

District-Focused Leadership
Rohan is focused on the issues a County Supervisor can actually influence: homelessness response, behavioral health, public safety through county systems, healthcare access, workforce support, and transparent oversight. I've participated in ambassador programs, fostering public-private partnerships to drive regional prosperity and innovation. I’ve worked with public-private economic development organizations which are focused on attracting new jobs and investments.

Priorities for District 2

Safe Neighborhoods. Real Solutions. Honest Government.

Public Safety

Residents deserve safer neighborhoods and a county government that responds before crisis becomes tragedy. Public safety is not only about enforcement — it is also about behavioral-health crisis response, treatment, diversion, reentry, and better coordination so fewer people cycle between the street, the emergency room, and the justice system.

What I’ll push for:
Faster county crisis response
Better treatment and diversion pathways
Real accountability for outcomes

Homelessness

Too many people are still living on the street while the system remains too fragmented and too dependent on short-term funding. We need accountability, more prevention for families at risk, more housing exits for people already unhoused, and stronger coordination between outreach, treatment, and housing providers.

What I’ll push for:
Prevention-first support for families at risk
More permanent exits from homelessness
County-funded programs measured by results

Transparency and Accountability

People deserve to know where county money goes, what programs are working, and what needs to change. Transparency should not mean more paperwork — it should mean plain-English reporting, public dashboards, and real accountability for performance.

What I’ll push for:
Quarterly district reports
Public scorecards for county-funded providers
Clear budget and contract transparency

Economic Security and the Future of Work

Families across District 2 are feeling pressure from rising costs, layoffs, and rapid technological change. The County should do more to help workers and small businesses adapt through faster layoff response, stronger retraining, and responsible use of AI.

What I’ll push for:
Faster county response when layoffs hit
Workforce training tied to real jobs and AI skills
Responsible AI standards in county government
