DR. SHERRY HU
MAYOR FOR YOU
ABOUT SHERRY HU
A Dublin Neighbor. A Community Advocate. Your Mayor.
Dublin is my home, and serving as your Mayor is one of the greatest honors of my life.
I am a longtime Dublin resident, a mother of two college-age children, a caregiver to my senior parents, an entrepreneur, and a community volunteer. My children attended Dublin schools, and our family has experienced firsthand what makes this city special: safe neighborhoods, excellent schools, beautiful parks, diverse cultures, thriving businesses, and neighbors who care for one another.
I came to the United States as a young immigrant with a belief that education, hard work, and service could create a better future. That journey shaped who I am and how I lead.
Delivering Results for Dublin
During my current term as Mayor, Dublin has strengthened public safety, opened three new parks, welcomed more than 100 new businesses, invested in roads and infrastructure, supported students and schools, expanded community programs, and maintained strong city finances.
Dublin was also ranked the No. 1 Best Place to Live in California for 2026 to 2027 by U.S. News & World Report. This recognition belongs to our entire community and reflects what we have built together.
I am proud of the progress we have made, and I know there is more work ahead. We must continue protecting public safety, supporting local businesses, maintaining strong finances, improving roads and infrastructure, investing in parks, partnering with our schools, and managing growth responsibly.
From Community Volunteer to Mayor
My public service began long before I held elected office.
I served as a classroom parent, a Parent Faculty Club board member, and a volunteer supporting students, families, seniors, and community organizations. I founded Above Beyond Leadership Education, known as ABLE, to help young people develop leadership skills and meaningful opportunities to serve others.
Through community service, I saw how much can be accomplished when residents work together with compassion and a shared purpose. I also saw the importance of local leaders who listen, bring people together, and turn community needs into action.
I was elected to the Dublin City Council in 2020 and elected Mayor in 2024. I am deeply grateful for the trust Dublin residents have placed in me and for the opportunity to serve this community.
Experience That Serves Dublin
I hold a Ph.D. in Architectural Engineering and professional credentials in engineering, finance, and project management. My career has included work as an assistant professor, university researcher, building engineer, environmental protection professional, business owner, and financial professional.
This combination of technical, financial, educational, and business experience helps me evaluate complex city issues from multiple perspectives.
As an engineer, I understand the importance of careful planning, reliable infrastructure, and long-term solutions.
As a financial professional and business owner, I understand responsible budgeting, accountability, job creation, and the challenges facing local businesses and working families.
As an educator and nonprofit founder, I understand the importance of investing in young people, supporting schools, and creating opportunities for every member of our community.
Leadership Grounded in Community
I believe public service begins with listening.
Good leadership requires showing up, studying the issues, asking difficult questions, working with people who may have different perspectives, and remaining accountable to the community.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on results. For every major decision, I return to one guiding question:
Will this make life better for the people who call Dublin home?
That question guides my work on public safety, economic development, city finances, transportation, parks, schools, housing, and community programs.
Moving Dublin Forward Together
Dublin’s success belongs to all of us: residents, students, parents, seniors, businesses, volunteers, nonprofit organizations, educators, first responders, and dedicated city employees.
I am grateful for the trust Dublin residents have placed in me. Over the next two years, I will continue working with energy, integrity, and an open heart to protect what makes Dublin special and prepare our city responsibly for the future.
Together, we can keep Dublin Safe. Strong. Sustainable.
