We are honored to celebrate the City of Mountain View City Council’s unanimous selection of Justin Mates to serve as their next City Attorney. After a distinguished career in San Mateo County, Justin will be making the leap to city government when he begins his new role in early January.
Justin is a seasoned attorney with 14 years of experience in local government, including seven years of senior executive management experience, most recently as Assistant County Executive in San Mateo. Mountain View’s City Attorney represents and advises the Council, advisory bodies, and City departments in matters of law related to city business.
“Justin brings a unique combination of skills and experience, from serving as a local government attorney to a senior executive in municipal government,” said Mayor Emily Ann Ramos. “We were seeking an accomplished attorney who can navigate complex legal and public policy matters, and Justin more than delivers these qualities to serve as our next City Attorney. Thanks to his vast experience, Justin will help advance the City Council’s vision of Mountain View as a welcoming, vibrant city that remains committed to the values of strong neighborhoods and community involvement.”
Our candidate holds a Bachelor’s degree in political science from Stanford University and a Juris Doctorate degree from Harvard Law School.
