About Heather
Originally from Daytona Beach, Florida, I first began visiting San Marcos in 2022. Over the next couple of years, I returned often and grew to appreciate the community, its character, and the unique charm of the area. In late 2024, I made San Marcos my home, and I’m proud to now call this community my own.

How I’ll Serve You on City Council
Listening First
Turning Values into Policy
Bringing Everyone to the Table
My years of grassroots organizing have taught me that real policy begins with listening. On City Council, I will implement mobile town halls and open-door office hours to ensure your priorities directly shape the municipal agenda.
Lets do away with the empty campaign promises. As shown from the last decade, I am a dedicated progressive who will bring San Marcos values to City Council and beyond.
Progress happens when transparency is the standard, not the exception. I will champion ethics reforms and an inclusive budgeting process that gives every resident, neighbor, and coalition a seat at the table.
