MEET BOB

Meet Bob Nguyen

A transparent and accountable neighbor asking to stay on Millbrae City Council, District 4.

Bob Nguyen, candidate for Millbrae City Council District 4

Rooted in Millbrae.

My name is Bob Nguyen, and I am the current Councilmember representing Millbrae District 4, where I have served since 2024. My wife, who is Chinese American, and I have called Millbrae home for more than 10 years, raising our family and building deep roots in this community. My commitment to public service began in 2022, when I stepped forward as a write-in candidate to ensure District 4 voters had a real choice, earning 26.69% of the vote — an extraordinary showing that reflected meaningful support from neighbors across the district.

I'm running to keep Millbrae safe, livable, and financially strong while planning responsibly for the future. My approach is balanced, practical, and data-driven — focused on protecting our neighborhoods, strengthening infrastructure, and ensuring City Hall listens to the people it serves.

Learn more about my priorities and platform.

Bob's Journey

  1. More than 10 years ago

    Moved to Millbrae

    Moved to Millbrae and set down roots—choosing our city as the place to build a home and raise a family.

  2. 2022

    Stepped forward as a write-in candidate

    In 2022 I ran as a write-in candidate so District 4 voters would have a real choice, earning 26.69% of the vote — an extraordinary result for a write-in campaign.

  3. 2024

    Joined the City Council

    Joined the Millbrae City Council representing District 4, and have been working for our neighborhoods ever since — on the budget, our streets, and the decisions that shape this city.

What Guides My Decisions

Transparency & Honesty

Open communication about challenges, tradeoffs, and how decisions are made. No spin, no hidden agendas.

Respect for Neighbors & Balanced Decision-Making

Listen to all sides, weigh evidence carefully, and make decisions that serve the whole community—not just the loudest voices.

Responsibility & Follow-Through

Show up, do the work, follow through on commitments, and be accountable for results.

A Personal Note

I'm family-oriented and spend a lot of time with my kids, connecting with other parents and families in Millbrae. These everyday interactions—with business owners, at parks and community events—remind me what makes our city special: we know our neighbors, we care about each other's well-being, and we want Millbrae to remain a place where families can thrive.

That's why I'm staying. I want to bring that neighborhood perspective—grounded, practical, and focused on what matters most to District 4 families—to our City Council.
