COUNCILMEMBER'S WEBSITE    

Born and raised in Salinas, Jose Andrew Sandoval was elected in November 2022 for a four-year term representing District 5 on the council. The son of immigrants and a small business owner, Sandoval says the biggest issues facing Salinas are affordable housing, sidewalk and road repair, improving public parks, and making the city clean.


With respect to homelessness, Sandoval says the City Council has made great progress with the SHARE Center and buying hotels to house people. He says: “I'm in support of a tiny home village, and a safe place for our homeless, this will help keep our city clean, provide much-needed housing for our homeless and provide resources. The key is partnering with nonprofits, volunteers and seeking grants.”


Notable quote: “We need to keep our jobs local and support working families. We can't allow big corporations to make back-door deals with staff while the representatives that we elect don't know or don't approve these non-disclosure agreements as Amazon did.” (Source: Monterey County Weekly)
