Trusted New Leadership:

Pittsburg Council Member Shanelle Scales-Preston was elected to the city council in 2018.  Since being elected, Shanelle has worked collaboratively to find solutions to tough problems and make Pittsburg and our region a great place to live for everyone.

Community Empowerment: 

True progress starts with active collaboration.  I will engage with our diverse community, encourage open dialogue and ensure your opinion is heard and actively considered in decision-making.

Housing:

Create housing for all income levels and partner with non-profits and the private sector to provide innovative solutions to house very low income and unhoused residents.

Transportation: 

Invest in infrastructure, coordinate transit across systems and explore new modes of transportation to ensure mobility is equitable and easy.

Youth
Services:

Access to quality services including recreation, tutoring and extracurricular learning are vital to building a foundation for success for our young residents.

Economic
Growth:

A thriving local economy is essential for our resident’s well-being. This starts with attracting new businesses, supporting local entrepreneurs and creating job opportunities.

Public Safety:

Ensuring the safety of our neighborhoods requires collaboration between law enforcement and the community and investing in tactical and anti-bias police training to foster trust and cooperation.   On the city council, I have always fully funded the police department and have invested in training and equipment.

Environmental Sustainability: 

Protecting our environment is a shared responsibility. 
I will champion sustainable practices, advocate for clean energy initiatives and work towards a greener and more sustainable future.
