Dear Neighbor,
I have deep roots in District 6, I am a proud product of John E. Steinbeck Elementary School, Harden Middle School, and Everett Alvarez High School. I graduated with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts from Hartnell College and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Legal Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am running for re-election to the Salinas City Council to continue representing District Six! As someone born in Salinas and raised in District Six, I have a deep commitment to serving my community and a vested interest in improving the quality of life for the residents of Salinas. My professional background includes nonprofit grant-writing, and program administration. I have served our residents as a School Board Member for the Salinas Union High School District where I worked collaboratively to increase student support services, and balance the school district budget. I have also previously served as a Behavioral Health Commissioner for the County of Monterey, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace. Experience and determination counts on the Salinas City Council. As your City Councilmember, I worked consistently to secure $20 million for the Boronda Road Widening Project, $7 million for sidewalk repairs, 3.3 million for the complete reconstruction of Independence Boulevard, $1 million for a mobile crisis unit to support public safety response, and $330,000 for new playground equipment at Steinbeck Neighborhood Park, and Natividad Neighborhood Park. In addition to increasing investment in infrastructure and recreational opportunities, the City Council has allocated millions towards affordable housing production to make Salinas a more affordable community to call home. As well as funding prevention and wellness grants for local agencies to support community safety, and wellness. There is still so much more work to do, and I am eager to continue working on your behalf to deliver real results! I am committed to addressing neighborhood concerns, making our city more affordable, investing in our youth, and prioritizing equitable infrastructure repair throughout our city. With gratitude, I humbly ask for your support! Anthony Rocha EXPERIENCE
