In the City of San Marcos, where residents and guests alike can “Discover Life’s Possibilities” in a diverse environment, Mayor Rebecca Jones champions a message that transcends party lines. She believes local government would operate much more effectively if it remained firmly non-partisan.
“When you stick with the main nuts and bolts of what a community does and how you can provide a good service to them, you don’t have to be political,” Mayor Jones said. “We don’t get into the issues that are outside of our wheelhouse of control.”
Through in-depth research into the role of local government, she understands its primary responsibilities to be the safety of the community, land use development, quality-of-life issues, and fiscal responsibility. As the city with the lowest crime rate out of 18 cities in San Diego County, Mayor Jones is proud of San Marcos’ safety work.
