Santa Clarita is changing fast.
Now the third-largest city in Los Angeles County, our community reflects a rich diversity of voices, backgrounds, and experiences. But our local representation hasn't kept pace—and the consequences are showing up in decisions that affect our everyday lives.
This is a turning point.
The next local elections will determine who makes decisions about our schools, our water, public safety, reproductive freedom, housing, and economic opportunity. These races will be competitive, and they will be decided by the people who get involved today.
We're building that effort—one seat at a time.
From school boards and the City Council to Congress, we're working to elect leaders who reflect the Santa Clarita of today and who will be accountable to the people they serve.
What's at Stake
-
- Good-paying jobs and fair wages
- Affordable housing and economic opportunity
- Safe, high-quality public schools
- Clean, reliable, and affordable water
- Public safety and law enforcement accountability
These decisions are made locally—and the future of our community depends on who is elected.
