Dear Neighbor, I have deep roots in District 6, I am a proud product of John 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. During my first term on the Salinas City Council, we worked to increase community engagement and welcome neighborhood voices to local government. I am thrilled to share that, working in collaboration with my colleagues on the city council, we have secured millions of dollars of investment for our neighborhoods. These funds have been allocated towards long-standing neighborhood priorities and District Six needs, such as the complete repair of Independence Boulevard, funding the first phase of the Boronda Road expansion project, sidewalk repairs, and new playground structures at Natividad Park and Steinbeck Park just to name a few. 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 the first ever mobile crisis unit in our city, and the 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
