‪My first station at last Thursday’s use of force class at the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Citizens Academy was use of handcuffs - had to try them out, right?‬

There are so many great events on Thursday nights in September and October. For 8 weeks, I’m committed to @sunnyvaledps Citizens Public Safety Academy. So far, we’ve learned about traffics stops, drones, hard drills for fire academy and how to shoot handguns and so much more! Tonight kicks off the 2nd half. Hope to learn lots from Lt Jeffrey Sipes and all the other DPS officers who are helping teach us! Thanks @sunnyvaledps and @cityofsunnyvale for the wonderful program! ❤️

Richard, my @lyft driver tonight is so considerate! I love that he has a bike safety sticker in his back window! #bikesafety 🚴‍♀️

Congratulations to Betty Yee, CA State Controller, for your award from @apali_org. It was so great to see you. Weren’t the other awardees and student speeches also amazing?

This will be my last post until August 2nd thanks to the LookUp Challenge. If you haven’t already, check out their website at lookupchallenge.com and join me! You might just be surprised by how much social media impacts your life. See you in a week! #signingoff

Happy Day on Thursday! An agent asked for 50 pages! Here’s hoping one shot is all it takes for the author to land representation! Smiles all around for the validation!

On July 14, I visited the Sunnyvale Apricot Orchard and the Heritage Museum with my summer interns. Read about their takeaways from the visits on my blog!🍑🏡🌳 https://nancysmith.org/%E2%80%A6/07/26/sunnyvales-history-all-of-it/

With social media becoming increasingly intertwined with daily life, it’s sometimes hard to take a step back and assess its impact on our lives. That is why I am participating in the LookUp Challenge, a weeklong detox from social media to analyze its impact on me. The challenge is studying whether taking a break from social media with friends makes it easier, especially for young people, to find a balance between life and tech. Friends, I encourage you to join me! For more information and to register, visit lookupchallenge.com. 👀⬆️

Best moment of my week. Teens with a typewriter! @z.ibaa was even inspired to write poetry today. 🌷✨

Instagram post 2091534051218301066_3256910609

It seems very fitting that two of my interns are using a typewriter to fill out a request for information from the Sunnyvale Historical Museum! Verdict: “It’s so satisfying!” The question: What exact date was Edwina Benner first sworn in as Mayor of Sunnyvale? #oldschool

The City of Santa Clara is looking into the worker cooperative business model. Check out this blog post on my takeaways from the City Council meeting where it was discussed!

Thanks to all the group who organized the Silicon Valley Youth Climate Summit. Listening to opening remarks by @supdavecortese and waiting for @svcleanenergy Climate Ambassadors and Board Member Rod Sinks - great turnout from Sunnyvale activists and leaders. I’ll be speaking in the Local Action breakout group #climateactionnow

Add me to the list of those who saw Hamilton this summer. We enjoyed the once-named Majestic Theater in Chicago. I knew it as the Shubert back in my college days. What a great venue to see this particular play. We narrowly escaped buying a “I will never be satisfied” T-shirt.

The hydrogen shortage is pushing me into opportunities to try other transportation options. Toyota is reimbursing us Mirai drivers up to $50 per day. I have so many meetings as an elected that I often exceed that if I use Lyft - so this week tried commute ride-sharing app Scoop and VTA @scvta. Thumbs up on both!

This is super-dedication for a favorite candidate. It’s a tattoo of the margin - the number of votes the first woman sheriff in Nevada County CA won by last fall. 🤩

Presented one of those giant checks to @midpenhousing on behalf of @svcleanenergy and the Solar Cash Out program. “Not only is Garland Plaza a tremendous story of partnership to preserve affordable housing in Sunnyvale, it’s now a model for showcasing how sustainable features like solar can result in financial savings while accomplishing our community goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change,” says Nancy Smith, Sunnyvale City Councilmember and SVCE Board Member.

BTW, @thecitizenhotelsacramento is full of fun details like this lamp. Took me a while to notice the writing and the dude, which makes it even more fun.

I spent two nights in Sacramento advocating for housing and economic development on Thursday and for community services on Friday. Between the meeting days, we took time to swap stories about elected life. It's great to hear all the different reasons people step up to run!

Very excited to witness this monumental event in Sunnyvale history! For the first time, Sunnyvale raised the Pride Flag at City Hall to maintain solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month this June. 🏳️‍🌈

Sunnyvale resident @jeremieg21 has a great message for Pride Month, one that @youthpublicpolicy is happy to share! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
