Ballot Statement

By Michele Martinez

Candidate for Mayor; City of Santa Ana

This information is provided by the candidate
Santa Ana deserves a Mayor who will work for all of you.
Santa Ana deserves a Mayor who will work for all of you. It is time we all move away from the past and look towards the future. Together we can make Santa Ana a better city for all of us, creating hope and inspiration for our neighbors and communities that have been left behind.

I pledge to create a responsive, accountable government, where people from all perspectives feel respected, and get the services they deserve. My commitment to you is to improve the quality of life, safety, and education for all residents.

I have spent my life in this great city, graduated from Spurgeon and Santa Ana High School, and earned my A.A Degree from Santa Ana College. I then continued my education at Cal State Fullerton.

You elected me to the City Council in November of 2006. I chair the Parks, Recreation, Education, and Youth Council Committee and authored the Early Prevention and Intervention Commission, a board, addressing issues related to gangs and at-risk youth.

It's time for change and together we can focus on improving this great city we love.
