Political campaigns

In an election held June 5, 2018, Pierluigi Oliverio unsuccessfully ran for the Santa Clara County Supervisor position in District 4 to replace the outgoing Ken Yeager.[1] In the days after the election night, it seemed that Oliverio came in for a second place runoff election by a slim 105-vote margin[2] However, it became clear that this was a third place showing as the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters continued its round-the-clock tally of provisional and mailed-in ballots.[3]

Oliverio ran unsuccessfully as a candidate for California's 17th congressional district in the 2016 election, coming in fifth place with 4.2% of the vote.[4]

Two months after losing his run for state congress, Oliverio filed papers in August 2016 to campaign for a seat on the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority's board of directors.[5] He lost against the incumbent in District 4, Dorsey Moore, who won the four-year term for 2016–2020.[6]

In 2014, Oliverio campaigned unsuccessfully in the mayoral race for the City of San Jose, California. He was eliminated from the race in the June primary coming in fourth with just under 10 percent of the vote.[7] He was censured by the Santa Clara County Democratic Party in 2018 for past accusations of sexual and verbal harassment of subordinates while a Councilmember.[8][9]

He is a board member of the Silicon Valley Taxpayer's Association with a term of 2019–2020.[10]
