Candidate for
Mayor; City of Paso Robles

CANDIDATE STATEMENT FOR STEVEN W. MARTIN

I am a 40-year resident of Paso Robles currently serving on the Paso Robles City Council having been elected in 2012. I also served on the City Council between 1987 and 1996, as Mayor 1988-1990. My wife and I have raised our family in Paso Robles and, in addition to my Council service, I also have been active in many local service organizations over the years including Kiwanis, Optimists, Rotary and the American Cancer Society, The Link and the Symphony of the Vines . I have been endorsed for the office of Mayor of the City of Paso Robles by local citizens as well as elected and appointed representatives at the local and state levels. I have the skills, experience and passion to serve effectively as Mayor. I have also worked with Main Street and other organizations in neighboring Atascadero. In 2007 I received that City's Chamber award for Community Volunteer of the Year. Opportunities to participate in two cities and at the County level have given me unique perspectives on how communities can and should work together. If Paso Robles is to continue to be successful + a place where its citizens can live, work and shop + we must aggressively manage our water supplies, actively retain and recruit new industry to diversify our employment base and continue to restore the city services sacrificed during the recent recession. We must also continue to work for government accountability, improved public safety, and expanded recreational and cultural opportunities. As your Mayor I will listen, lead and communicate.
