Election Day: June 2, 2026
What Santiago will fight for on the City Council.
Every family deserves to feel safe. Santiago will push for better lighting, faster emergency response, community policing, and cleaner public spaces throughout District 5.
Rising costs are pushing families out. Santiago will fight for affordable housing protections, renter rights, and programs that help working families stay in their neighborhoods.
When you call City Hall, someone should answer. Santiago will demand faster response times, better communication, and services that work for the people.
Stronger after-school programs, senior services, job training, and resources that help families thrive — not just survive.
This campaign runs on people, not money.
Santiago accepts zero donations. This campaign is independent — driven by community voices, not special interests.
