Eisenberg, 57, of Palo Alto has had a troubled tenure on the board, including allegations of racism, abusive behavior toward district employees, being stripped of responsibilities and a lawsuit that alleges that she stole documents from a closed session meeting.
Eisenberg confirmed to the Post last week that she is running for re-election.
Besides the accusations made by Valley Water employees, she previously lodged complaints with the district about retaliatory and discriminatory behavior towards her as a woman. Later investigations did not substantiate her claims.
Dailey, 55 said he decided to run because he considers North County residents to be “ineffectively represented” and in need of a representative who will be more collaborative with other Valley Water board members.
This includes participation by the North County board member on the San Francisquito Creek JPA, an agency Valley Water is part of that works to prevent flooding along the creek that borders East Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Palo Alto and is prone to flooding.
Eisenberg was removed from the JPA’s board in March 2024 and has since remain uninvolved.
Dailey’s exit from the Los Altos City Council will leave a second undefended seat this fall, the first of which was vacated earlier this year after Neysa Fligor won the election for the Los Altos City Assessor. He will leave after serving for four years on the council.
Thank you Pete Dailey. We need effective representation.
This lady seems to be living in another universe. No one wants her to run. She has no chance what so ever.
It’s truly bizarre. Does her family encourage this? She has no shame.
A rock could challenge Eisenberg and the rock would win with 90% of the vote.
And he is a rock. Hope he wins so Los Altos is rid of him
There could not be a worse choice than Pete Daily, although we’re thrilled at the prospect of him leaving our Los Altos City Council! He’s an ineffective council member and a bully. He’s running because he loves power and then he abuses it. Find someone else.

Eisenberg was censured by a unanimous vote of her six board colleagues, all good people who demonstrate sound judgment. She has complained bitterly that her removal from all committees and the San Francisquito JPA leaves her constituents with diminished representation. That very real harm is her doing, and she had the opportunity to improve her outlandish behavior and have the penalties lifted. She did not, and subsequent 6-1 votes upheld the continuation of committee assignments that excluded her. District 7 deserves better. Vote for Pete Dailey.
