🗳️ Election Update: New Local Endorsement!
Big news! We are excited to announce our endorsement of Dustin Lopez for Scotts Valley City Council! Dustin may be new to the political stage, but his enthusiasm for diverse housing options—like duplexes, apartments, and ADUs—makes him a fantastic fit for Scotts Valley, a city that really needs a housing boost. He’s also a strong advocate for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure, which will help create a more inclusive, sustainable community. We’re confident Dustin’s thoughtful approach and commitment to housing will bring fresh energy to the city!
