The Community Behind Michelle

I feel honored to have the support of so many in the San Luis Obispo and surrounding communities. You too can join our campaign so we can work together for a stronger SLO.

"Michelle knows what it takes to be a SLO City Councilmember and has been doing it well. From volunteer to planning commissioner to councilmember, she understands what it takes to be effective. Michelle came to SLO to attend Cal Poly and fell in love with the community. She was able to make a home here and raise a family and wants to make this community even more accessible for all."

"Supporting Michelle Shoresman for San Luis Obispo City Council is really easy. First, Michelle is a really smart and prepared woman -- she does her homework, studies the issues, and asks all the right questions in making her voting decisions. Second, Michelle is a natural leader -- her ability to clearly communicate and advocate for the public's interest was well demonstrated as a member of SLO County's COVID public information response team. Finally, Michelle shares and promotes the values important to San Luis Obispo residents -- she supports a woman's right to choose, advocates for responsible gun ownership, and promotes conservation of open spaces for public trails and wildlife protection. She definitely has my vote!"
