COMMUNITY PRIORITY

Transparency & Accountability

City Hall works best when residents know what's being decided and who's influencing it. Emily fights for every Oceanside resident, regardless of age, language, or income. Not the developers. Not the well-connected. You.

Open planning and public input

Residents deserve clear notice, plain-language materials, and real opportunities to shape development decisions before the votes are counted.

Follow the money

Campaign contributions and development agreements should not decide what gets built. Emily will keep pushing to expose who is bankrolling decisions at City Hall.

Accountability from the inside

On the Planning Commission, Emily has asked the hard questions others avoided. She will bring that same independence to City Council.

Government that speaks your language

Notices, meetings, and resources must reach every resident — in English, Spanish, and the formats neighbors actually use.

Decisions Coming to City Hall

General Plan and Climate Action Plan: Passed in July; now it's time for public tracking, genuine input, and accountability for delivering what was promised.
Lennar Homes and the North River Farms project: 128 conditions of approval were issued. The Transparency and Accountability Task Force will review each and every one for compliance. Developers will no longer be given a pass when they are late or totally abandon their commitments to our community.
Where the money goes: Open the books so residents can see where funding comes from and how it's spent.

MyOceanside

The City of Oceanside's MyOceanside app let's you report problems. The app is no longer being updated by the developer and the city will soon need to upgrade. We are working with a small team of developers to create an open source solution that will create a public dashboard to see all requests across the city, their status and timeline. For now, you can use the MyOceanside app to:
