Antonio Martinez

Infrastructure / Transportation Antonio will secure long overdue investments in public safety and infrastructure for District 8 that have been historically neglected in city budgets. That means paving our roadways, developing new parks and open spaces for the community, staffing up first responders to address long wait times, and working with city planners to improve the flow of traffic in our neighborhoods. Housing He will also work with stakeholders and city officials to streamline development of affordable housing units in the district to ensure our people aren’t priced out of their home. Education As a City Councilmember, he will prioritize the same kind of development he’s brought to San Ysidro schools for students throughout District 8, ensuring our children are set up for success from day one. Wages / Job Benefits Antonio will fight to raise wages, strengthen the labor movement and ensure that working people’s voices are heard. He will support workers and union leaders to expand living and prevailing wages, support PLAs and organizing agreements and advocate for all workers who deserve a better deal. Social Services One of Antonio’s top priorities is addressing the housing and homelessness crisis. At City Hall, he will bring together community organizations, developers and social service providers to address the homelessness crisis with compassion and urgency.
