Kremen told the Spotlight that the four photos were among 20,000 photos from his iPhone camera roll he moved to a Dropbox and asked the staffer to review. According to Kremen, he wanted the staffer to find photos of his family that would be suitable for campaign material. He said that the four photos were taken while his wife was breast feeding, telling,"As a new dad, I was excited to capture every moment with my family and took many shots of us all.
The news has prompted two Santa Clara County officials — state Sen. Dave Cortese and Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee member Michele Dauber — to publicly call for Kremen's resignation from the water district board, a position he has held since 2014.
