About George Casey

George Casey grew up in Santa Teresa and lived in Almaden for 35 years. He’s now raising his kids in the West Santa Teresa Foothills. He moved to District 10 at the age of 5 and went to Santa Teresa Elementary, then Bernal Intermediate and then on to Bellarmine, where George excelled in sports and built a life-long appreciation of how strong communities bring out the best in each of us.

George graduated from Santa Clara University and then earned his law degree at Santa Clara Law — along with a master’s degree in Urban Planning from San José State and a master’s degree in Real Estate from UC Berkeley.

Family has always been the most important thing in George’s life, and he’s raising his kids right here in District 10 — on the very same streets he grew up on.

After working at a major law firm, he joined the start-up world as a senior counsel and began to serve the people of San José as a Planning Commissioner — where he has fought for sensible decisions that create the new housing we need without destroying the character of our beautiful neighborhoods. He’s always been curious about cities, the built environment, and urban sprawl — and wants to be at the forefront of helping the city reach its full potential.
