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.

ERICA A. STEWART

"Michelle knows what it takes to be an effective SLO City Council member. She shows up, listens to all perspectives and asks hard questions. Michelle came to SLO to attend Cal Poly and fell in love with the community. She was able to make a home here, raise her family and wants to make this community even more accessible for all. I strongly endorse her for a second term."

"I've known Michelle over 25 years and I've seen her dedication to issues that are crucial to the quality of life in SLO. In her time on Council she’s worked to increase affordable safe housing opportunities, create walkable neighborhoods, and partner with the County to reduce homelessness. She's expanded the city's open space, while also tackling ongoing challenges such as budget and water security. We each get one vote this November. My vote will go to Michelle Shoresman."

KARA WOODRUFF

"I am a proud supporter of Michelle Shoresman for San Luis Obispo City Council. For these last four years, Michelle has been very active and present on the council — not only attending the meetings, but being prepared and asking important questions. Michelle also welcomes the public’s input and is very interested in and takes into consideration what people have to say. She is also a proponent of those things that make our fair city thrive — from supporting the housing of homeless individuals, to new housing that meets the needs of residents while preserving the character of San Luis Obispo. I also appreciate her support of the City’s greenbelt, and for programs that support students, families, and seniors. I am grateful for Michelle’s leadership and she has my vote!"
