Chad Worth
I first met Jan Marx years ago, when I was serving on the Morro Bay City Council and she was Mayor of San Luis Obispo. She is a thoughtful and intelligent leader who always has our community’s best interests at heart. Her experience, balanced perspective and expertise are important to good governance of San Luis Obispo City and that of our region as a whole. I endorse Jan Marx for reelection, without reservation.
Dawn Addis
State Assemblymember
As representatives of our two cities I have had the opportunity to work with Jan Marx on various committees. Jan does her homework thoroughly and is always one of the most prepared people in the room. She asks important and insightful questions and is a very effective voice for the City of SLO.
Charles Bourbeau
Incoming Mayor of Atascadero
I’m proud to endorse Jan Marx for City Council. The City of San Luis Obispo is a trendsetter for the Central Coast, consistently leading in innovation and progress. Jan’s experience and dedication to sustainable growth and environmental protection are essential to keeping San Luis Obispo on the path of forward-thinking leadership.
Jen Ford
Morro Bay City Council Member
Jan Marx has unequaled experience and vision for San Luis Obispo. The entire city continues to benefit from her deep knowledge and institutional memory. I am pleased to endorse her for City Council.
Caren Ray Russom
Arroyo Grande Mayor
Jan is a relentless advocate for our community. I’m particularly appreciative of her ongoing efforts advancing SLO’s environmental and climate leadership.
Eric Veium
Jan has accomplished a long list of victories for our town including increased open space preserves, improvements in bicycle infrastructure, better relationships between Cal Poly and the city and increased homeless services. We are a much stronger town thanks to Jan’s tireless work.
Matt Ritter
She’s been one of the city’s strongest advocates for conservation of open space and while she’s had a reputation as a “slow-growther,” Marx advocates for affordable housing for both buyers and renters…Marx is smart, she does her homework and she is is a strong voice for underserved communities, including seniors who are unhoused. The Tribune Editorial Board strongly endorses Erica Stewart for mayor and Jan Marx and Mike Boswell for City Council. Read more here.
