“We are facing a moment like no other along the Central Coast of California. Our coastal communities are at a crossroads. This election will define this region for generations to come.”
Protecting Our Central Coast
We are a region of small coastal communities rich in history and culture. People travel from all over the world to visit and explore our oceans, beaches, and unique way of life. Energy solutions need to take this into consideration. If we do not, what we have here will be lost forever.
Battery Plants:
Protecting Our Central Coast From Another Moss Landing Disaster
Coastal communities like Morro Bay, Los Osos, and Cayucos should reject battery storage facilities due to serious safety risks demonstrated by the Moss Landing incident.
These eco-friendly tourism-dependent communities cannot accept the risks of industrialization, health hazards, emergency evacuations, and environmental damage, especially for facilities serving distant urban areas rather than local needs.
Offshore Wind:
4x The Cost at the Expense of Our Oceans and Our Coastal Communities
We have been falsely led to believe that we have to support the high intensity industrialization of our small coastal communities, ports, and oceans, to meet California’s carbon neutral environmental goals of a carbon neutral state under SB100. This is simply not true.
We should support cost effective carbon neutral onshore wind and solar projects to meet our environmental goals at a 25% of the cost to our communities and rate payers.
Offshore Oil Expansion:
Preventing Offshore Oil Drilling and Expansion in SLO County
Earlier this year, the federal government removed protections that covered 625 million acres of U.S. coastal waters, including along California's pristine coastline in San Luis Obispo County.
San Luis Obispo County cannot allow 122,500 new acres of land and oceans along our coastline to be leased for oil and gas drilling, especially near schools like Los Osos Middle School. This is not acceptable.
The Native Son One Of Us
“When you come from a legacy family of the Native Indians, Pioneers, and Fishermen that helped to build our Central Coast, representing San Luis Obispo County becomes very personal. Not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate my ancestors’ devotion to creating a hard-earned life for their families. Their commitment to their families and this region has given us the community that I am deeply dedicated to today.”

Central Coast Values We Deserve
“From Common Sense Election Reforms to Protecting Our Central Coast from the battery plants and wind farms that will damage our coastal ecosystems, we deserve representation that takes seriously the values that are uniquely ours. We deserve representation that actually listens to our concerns, respects our cultural differences, and takes our voices seriously. We finally have a chance to make a once-in-a-generation difference for SLO County.”
