To standing ovations from their respective families in the Board Chambers on the County Center campus in downtown Redwood City, Noelia Corzo and Ray Mueller were sworn in on the morning of Jan. 3 by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they represent the biggest change on the five-member board in a generation; the last time two new members were sworn in at the same time was in 1993. Both won runoff elections last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corzo was sworn in by her mother, Aura Ester Solorzano, and her 11-year-old son, Mike Alvarado-Corzo. She represents District 2, which includes the cities of San Mateo, Foster City and much of Belmont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noelia is a San Mateo resident who grew up in the city\u2019s North Central neighborhood, and she campaigned on the message of bringing her professional experience as a social worker \u201cwho knows exactly where our neighbors fall\u201d and her personal experience as a single mother \u201cwho understands the importance of access to high-quality child care, health care, and education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is currently the only woman on the Board of Supervisors and the first Latina to serve on the Board in the county\u2019s 158-year history. She previously served on the San Mateo-Foster City School District Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mueller was sworn in by his wife, Kristen Shima, and their children Max Mueller, 17, and Elle Mueller, 13. He represents District 3, which includes the cities of Atherton, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Portola Valley, Woodside and part of Belmont, along with large unincorporated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mueller, a Menlo Park resident, has campaigned on addressing challenges such as affordable housing, coastal infrastructure investment and environmental stewardship, among other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has pledged to do \u201cimpactful work on behalf of San Mateo County District 3; work that will make a difference in our quality of life, our safety, our economy, our environment and our future.\u201d He previously served on the Menlo Park City Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mueller succeeds Don Horsley as District 3 representative; Corzo succeeds Carole Groom as District 2 representative. Both Horsley and Groom are out of office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same meeting, Supervisor Dave Pine was elected chairman of the Board of Supervisors for the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pine, who won a special election in 2011 and was subsequently re-elected three times, said his goal will be to \u201cfacilitate a highly effective and productive culture among the Board of Supervisors that will allow us to make the best decisions possible for the good of the county.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
