Here are excerpts from candidates’ responses to the question: What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
Wilson:
- “Housing: […] As Mayor, I built a diverse housing portfolio, from affordable to high-end housing, building near transit centers to reduce commutes, and so young families can build roots in the area.”
- “Healthcare & Mental Health: I’ll fight for investments in mental health, and will expand affordable health coverage to make sure everyone in California has access to the care they need.”
- “Quality of Life: I’ll look for ways to improve the quality of life for everyone, from education, climate, childcare, etc.”
Callison:
- “Our young people deserve the best education available in 2022. I support school choice and parent choice.”
- “I want to prioritize mental health and improve access to mental health care services for all.”
- “Housing affordability and homelessness worsened in recent years. I hope to collaborate with public and private organizations to implement effective change.”
