The Revivalist News Network

Meet Claire Mack, a business woman and San Mateo's first African American Mayor who hopes hopes she won't be the last. Former Mayor Mack ran a winning citywide campaign because she was very involved in her community.
Thanks to affirmative action she got her start at KGO-TV then hosted community TV and radio shows for 30 years. She's responsible for launching KCSM's world famous Jazz 91, a radio jewel in the San Francisco Bay region. The 24-hour jazz format broadcast enjoys a worldwide reach of over 6 million with a current audience of about 200,000. Hosts include veteran jazz musicians, educators, and broadcasters who often are all three. She also sat on various city commissions and boards.
Claire has a passion for her community because she was born and raised in San Mateo, and her family has lived in San Mateo for more than 100 years, which has allowed her family to enjoy a certain level of stature. She has three well-educated and successful daughters, lots of grandkids and great grandchildren.
She also runs a bakery business out of her home, Claire's Crunch Cakes. The bakery helps sock money away for her grandchildren's college education.
