Dear friends and neighbors,
It is a profound honor to serve our community as Deputy Mayor, and I am eager to leverage that experience and enthusiasm to lead San Marcos as our next Mayor.
San Marcos is undoubtedly a unique and special place to call home. I am proud of the accomplishments achieved by San Marcos. Past and present city leaders have made significant contributions to our community’s success, and I am humbled to have played a small part in that.
I possess a deep passion for public service, and my primary focus is on enhancing traffic flow in San Marcos, ensuring our public safety partners receive the necessary support to maintain our city’s reputation as one of the safest in the State, and continuing to prioritize our open spaces, trails, and parks that greatly contribute to our quality of life in San Marcos.
I am thrilled to have earned the endorsement and support of my fellow council colleagues, Mayor Rebecca Jones and Councilmembers Ed Musgrove and Danielle LeBlang. It is a significant honor to have their trust and confidence in my ability to lead San Marcos into the future.
I encourage you to browse my website to learn more about our achievements in San Marcos and our future goals. I also welcome you to contact me directly to discuss my campaign in greater detail if you have inquiries or suggestions. Lastly, I recommend following me on social media to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and updates.
Sincerely,
Mike Sannella

With 12 years of elected public service, Mike Sannella brings deep experience and a proven track record of shaping San Marcos into the thriving community it is today.
The Sannella family’s commitment to education runs just as deep. Amy has dedicated her entire career to the San Marcos Unified School District, serving students and families as both a teacher and a principal.
No other candidate offers Mike’s breadth of experience across city government, water policy, and education.
Mike has also been a steadfast champion for public safety. Endorsed by the Deputy Sheriff’s Association, he stands firmly behind law enforcement at a time when others are calling to defund the police. San Marcos can count on Mike to keep our community safe.
His leadership has earned the support of a broad and diverse coalition, including Mayor Rebecca Jones, public safety organizations, local business leaders, labor groups, and educators, all united behind Mike Sannella for Mayor.
Mike’s Top Priorities:
Fostering a vision for San Marcos’ future that promotes recreation and entertainment options for our families.
Public Safety
Public safety has been Mike’s unwavering top priority, ensuring that our law enforcement and fire departments are adequately resourced to maintain a secure community. Mike played a crucial role in advocating for the implementation of License Plate Readers to enhance the Sheriff’s department’s crime prevention and investigation efforts. Additionally, he supported the establishment of a new Sheriff’s resource office in San Elijo Hills and the installation of a wildfire helicopter water-hydrant near Santa Fe Hills to help protect San Marcos from wildfires.
Infrastructure
I know that the fundamental desire of every family in San Marcos is to travel safely and efficiently to their desired destinations and back.
In recent months, San Marcos has made significant strides in enhancing our transportation infrastructure, including the inauguration of new bridges on Bent Avenue and Via Vera Cruz, and the reconstruction of Rancho Santa Fe Rd and Discovery St, all aimed at optimizing traffic flow.
I have also endorsed a forward-thinking Active Transportation Plan designed to streamline traffic flow while providing secure routes for bicyclists. Future plans are already under for the reconstruction of San Marcos Blvd, which will incorporate features designed improve traffic flow on one of our busiest roadways.
Entertainment Options
San Marcos should be a place where you can go out, have fun, and make memories without ever leaving the city.
One of my top priorities is bringing real entertainment options back for families and adults alike. That means reimagining San Marcos Boulevard into a vibrant, walkable entertainment district, full of energy, activity, and life.
This isn’t just an idea, it’s already in motion. I’ve been talking about this vision in staff meetings and public workshops, and working to move it forward.
Because when we have to leave San Marcos for a night out, we’re taking our dollars and our energy, somewhere else. That hurts our local businesses, our tax base, and our sense of community.
