This accolade underscores her commitment to fostering safe streets, promoting affordable housing, and creating an environment where families thrive. With her sights set on District 5, Mayor Jones is determined to extend this vision to all of North County, ensuring that the region remains a fantastic place to raise families and build a future.

On the Issues

  • Law Enforcement and Safety

    Mayor Jones will prioritize supporting law enforcement and improving public safety. As Mayor of San Marcos, Rebecca has made sure law enforcement has the resources necessary to protect our neighborhoods. This has led to San Marcos having the lowest crime rate in the city's history and having been rated one of the safest cities not only in San Diego County, but in California.


    Mayor Jones is also proud that San Marcos has a class one fire agency with one of the fastest response times in the county.

  • Homelessness

    Mayor Jones will lead the effort to make sure those who are homeless are taken off the streets and into the care they need. Over the course of Mayor Jones' time on the City Council, San Marcos has built over 3,300 deed restricted affordable housing units, more than any other neighboring city. Over 10% of the housing stock is deed restricted affordable. This has led to San Marcos having one of the lowest homelessness rates in San Diego County.

  • Lower Costs

    Mayor Jones will make sure the County government keeps costs and taxes on families low while continuing to provide the best service. As Mayor, Rebecca has made financial responsibility a top priority. She has successfully improved city infrastructure and services while still maintaining a balanced budget. She also started and completed the building of Kaiser Permanente Hospital, creating 1000 new jobs. As a former small business owner of over 20 years herself, Mayor Jones understands the need to have a healthy business community.

  • Public Spaces

    Mayor Jones will make sure our parks, beaches, and public spaces are safe and clean for families to enjoy. As Mayor, Rebecca started and completed the largest capital improvement plan in San Marcos history, promoting clean streets. The improvement project also restored vital local sensitive habitats, using native plants to naturally clean San Marcos Creek. During her time on the city council, San Marcos built or rebuilt 11 parks.

  • Push Against SANDAG Policies

    Mayor Jones will continue to push back on the waste of taxpayer dollars at SANDAG and will work hard to find sensible transportation solutions that serve all San Diego County residents.
