Remembering Scott Haggerty

Former Fremont Mayor Bill Harrison joins me for a special episode remembering the life and legacy of former Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, who died on July 5, 2026, at age 68. For 24 years, Haggerty represented the East County and Fremont on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, leaving an outsized mark on the region through his advocacy for transportation, economic development and local government. We also discuss Haggerty's colorful political style, and the legacy he leaves in Alameda County politics. Later in this episode: Fremont's push to become a charter city and what it could mean for residents and future governance, and a look ahead to the Aug. 18 special election in California's 14th Congressional District, where State Sen. Aisha Wahab and BART Director Melissa Hernandez face off for the third time in less than three months.
