The City is engaged in legislative advocacy efforts that are aimed at protecting and promoting Martinez’s best interest at the local, state, and federal levels. These efforts are driven by the City’s mission to deliver superior municipal services that make our residents, employees, and visitors’ lives better.

The significant increase in bills being introduced in the State Legislature that have the potential to further impact cities’ local control has prompted the City to expand its advocacy efforts. Key to these efforts is the development of the Legislative Platform which outlines the City’s principles, policies, goals, and strategies.

Residents can get involved and are encourage to:  

• Attend City Council meetings. 
• Contact the Mayor or City Council.
• Contact your County and/or State elected officials:
  • Contra Costa County Supervisor Federal D. Glover (District 5)
  • California Assemblymember Timothy S. Grayson (District 15)
  • California State Senator Bill Dodd (District 3)
