A Mayor for the People

As Mayor, Rebecca Jones has redefined

what it means to lead. Her style is

approachable, transparent, and deeply

rooted in community service. Whether it’s

speaking with children at local schools or

chatting with residents in the grocery

store, she makes herself available and

accountable.

“I want people to talk to me,” she says. “I

want to know what they need.”

Her track record reflects that

commitment. Under her leadership, San

Marcos has:

Become one of California’s safest

cities, now ranked #13 in the state.

Achieved Class 1 fire agency status,

reducing insurance costs for residents.

Added or rebuilt 18 parks across the

city.

Attracted a second hospital and

expanded healthcare access.

Distributed more than $3 million in

local COVID relief to small businesses.

She also launched the city’s LEAN

department—focused on transparency,

efficiency, and smart spending. Her

mayoral reelection in 2022 came with a

strong 64% of the vote, proof that her

community trusts her leadership.
