Endorsements
Voices from Our Community
Endorsements matter because they come from people who know the community, understand the work, and care deeply about Costa Mesa.
I’m grateful for the support of neighbors, community leaders, small business owners, educators, advocates, and organizations who believe in this campaign and our values. Their support reflects a shared belief in leadership that listens, shows up, and gets things done for all of our Costa Mesa, including right here in District 3.
These endorsements aren’t about politics. They’re about trust, shared priorities, and a commitment to our city's future.
