 Hi, my name is Martine Watkins. I am a current City Council member, former mayor for the Santa Cruz City Council and I'm running for re-election. I've also worked at the County Office of Education for over 15 years supporting programs from cradle to career. Santa Cruz is my hometown and my husband and I are really fortunate to be raising our two young daughters here as well. And our community, our future generations are really depending on our ability to work together in order to produce lasting results. And Santa Cruz knows how to come together when faced with adversity and I remember that from the 1989 earthquake. But we can only do that if we have leaders who are experienced and focused on working with you, the community, our local businesses, education, nonprofit, and others to really understand and co-create the solutions for the needs ahead. And through this inclusive community engagement, I really feel my track record supports that I have the experience to get things done. So I will continue to do whatever is in my power to interrupt systemic inequities. I will support families in accessing childcare. I pledge to be an advocate as I have been for climate adaptation through solar panels and power, clean energy, and investing in low-income communities. As the 2019 Santa Cruz Chamber Woman of the Year, I will support our business recovery from COVID-19 in the recent crises and create a green economy with well-paying jobs. As a member of the Housing Blueprint Subcommittee, we gather community input to preserve and create more affordable housing, and I will continue to use that blueprint as a foundation to our housing solutions. The outcome of this election must affirm our commitment to responsive leadership, and together we can overcome our current crisis while rebuilding for a greener future. My commitment is evidenced by this past four years I've been able to serve you on the Santa Cruz City Council. And for more information about me, please visit my website at www.MartinWalkins.com.
