Mayoral Vacancy & Leadership Stability
active• millbrae
Millbrae is navigating an unexpected governance transition at a critical moment in the city's development history. Mayor Reuben D. Holober announced his resignation from both the Mayorship and City Council to pursue a new career opportunity, stepping down to avoid any potential conflict of interest between his two roles. The resignation comes precisely as the city faces its most consequential planning and development decisions in decades — the multimodal station development, SB 79 implementation, RHNA production, and a water management plan update. The City Council must appoint a replacement or schedule a special election, and the transition creates both a leadership vacuum and an opportunity for fresh civic engagement. The November 2026 City Council election will also reset the political composition of the body.
