“

As State Senator from the Central Coast, I represent 23 cities, working to bring state support to each and resolve issues they might have with state laws and agencies. Mayor Tyller Williamson stands out as a great partner as we work together on Monterey’s priorities including water, housing, transportation, and much more. I can count on him to reflect the perspectives of all Monterey residents, and look forward to continuing our collaboration to address these complex issues.

— John Laird, State Senator, District 17

“

I am proud to endorse Tyller Williamson for Monterey Mayor. Tyller has shown firm dedication to public service and demonstrates an absolute commitment to the best interests of the people of Monterey.

Dawn Addis, Assemblymember, District 30

“

Monterey’s future cannot be secured by simply doing more of the same. If we want a City where the people who live here today - and the families, workers, and young people who will come after us - can continue to live and work here, we need leaders who can imagine and are willing to work for something better. Tyller Williamson has the courage to lead Monterey toward that future.

— Supervisor Kate Daniels

“

Tyller has shown he knows how to bring people together from all walks of life to improve our community. As mayor, I know he will continue to bring new voices to the table to provide for fair and equitable policy making.

— Former County Supervisor Jane Parker
