Lori Brooke
Democrat
62-year-old D2 homeowner with 31 years in the district. UC Santa Barbara graduate; longtime community organizer and current president of the Cow Hollow Association. Platform centers on safe and clean streets, expanded foot patrols on commercial corridors, and "neighborhood quality of life" framed against state-mandated upzoning. Opposes Mayor Lurie's Family Zoning Plan and the Marina Safeway high-rise project; favors building only "approved projects already in the pipeline" and prioritizing affordable units. First-time candidate for elected office.
