Corry Frydlewicz
Candidate for City Council (At-Large), Emeryville · Web Developer/Manager
Corry Frydlewicz has lived in Emeryville's Bridgewater Condos since 2021 and serves on her condominium's HOA board. She grew up with politically engaged parents who were both public-school educators and recalls walking union picket lines as a toddler. Her work history spans dishwasher, server, stocker, video-game designer, coder, and team leader for an international clothing brand; she currently works as a technology specialist for a local law firm that represents individuals in disputes with large corporations and banks. She describes her professional approach as adapting to whatever her team needs and clearing obstacles for people doing good work.
Positions in brief
Frydlewicz's platform emphasizes removing surveillance technology from city streets, pushing stalled housing projects to completion and strengthening tenant protections, and supporting small local businesses against chain competition and rising commercial rents.
Frydlewicz's issues page lists five numbered priorities: opposing city use of automated surveillance technology, delivering results on housing affordability including tenant protections and developer accountability, public health issues including environmental standards, walkability, transit and bike safety and the Sutter Hospital proposal, supporting small local businesses against national chains and high commercial rents, and fostering more collaborative, less contentious council proceedings. She also says she will not accept campaign contributions from fossil-fuel sources.
